ALICE HOWE & FREEBO have undeniable chemistry. Rock bass legend Freebo weaves his fretless stylings into Alice’s soulful, impeccably tuned vocals for a harmony-driven performance showcasing two uniquely compelling songwriters. Their latest album Alice Howe & Freebo Live is their first release as a duo, and it debuted as the #1 Most Played Album on the Folk Radio Chart.
Best known for his ten years playing bass with Bonnie Raitt, Freebo has toured and recorded with some of the greatest artists of his generation, including John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Crosby Stills & Nash, Maria Muldaur, and Dr. John. For the past twenty-five years, he’s been writing and performing his own original music. Alice Howe is a lifelong singer and songwriter beginning to make a name for herself, and recently had the honor of being named Best Female Artist at the International Acoustic Music Awards. Freebo and Alice have been working as a duo since 2017, and he produced her latest record Circumstance, recorded at iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Bill Hall with Scott Nelson
WILLIAM J. HALL is a songwriter’s songwriter and a poet’s poet. This almost-legendary North Jersey artist and Kerrville New Folk award-winner is emerging from the shadows for a rare and precious performance that will be recorded live for his next album. Bill is a master at his craft, and he inspires standing ovations for his insightful, universal love songs, his luscious musical landscapes, and his fascinating snapshots of life.
When David Bowie calls his music “contemporary folk-rock at its finest,” when Pete Seeger says, “You’ve got to sing these songs wherever you go. They are timeless,”and when Bruce Springsteen tells you “Looking forward to hearing more – soon,” you can be assured that the music is as top notch as top notch gets. But when Steven Sondheim says, “Wonderful writing. Simply wonderful,” there is no excuse for missing this performance.
Bill has performed with David Amram, Norman and Nancy Blake, Dave Bromberg, Allan Ginsberg, John Hartford, Don McClean, Melanie, Harry Nielson, Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger, Jackie Tice, Suzanne Vega, Robin Williamson, and Peter Yarrow. Among the creative hats he has worn are producer, engineer, author, architect, and tech guy. Hall is presently working on producing five albums of his songs for ReRed Records and his second book of short stories for young children.
SCOTT NELSON is more than an accomplished bass guitarist with exquisite taste and gifted ear. He earned historic respect and love from the Folk Project as founding member of Frostwater, the fabulous acoustic band featuring Bill Hall and Project founder Lauren Reilly.
