Alice and Freebo are returning to The Fallout Shelter but this time they're bringing the whole Alice Howe and Freebo Band.
Alice Howe and Freebo present a unique study in contrasts, bringing together a rising voice in Americana music and a venerable rock, folk, and blues icon. Each a compelling performer in their own right, they both lead and support each other in their well-crafted songs with flawless harmonies and tasteful instrumentation. They have worked as creative collaborators in the studio and on stage since 2017. Freebo weaves his unique fretless bass stylings into Alice’s superb vocals for a presentation with undeniable chemistry.
To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice, no histrionics — just honest, authentic, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her. On Circumstance, her second and latest album, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter guitarist displays her vocal prowess and introspective writing in abundance, mining both her heart and her musical tastes for a deep, personal journey across an Americana soundscape dotted with blues, folk, country, soul and rock. Recorded in two sessions at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where Etta James and Wilson Pickett once shook the walls, the record channels their spirits with 11 stirring tracks that pull no punches diving into the vagaries of the heart and her own personal journey. As an old soul inside a 30-something millennial, Alice puts her stamp on Americana’s venerable strands with 10 standout originals evoking both the classic singer-songwriters and the seminal music that once filled airwaves, roadhouses and juke joints.
Freebo is best known for his decade of touring and recording with Bonnie Raitt, and has distinguished himself as one of the great bassists of our time, playing on records with CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, and Neil Young as well as appearing on Saturday Night Live, The Midnight Special, The Muppet Show, and in concert with the legendary Spinal Tap. Not willing to simply rest on those achievements, Freebo delved more deeply into his creativity and has become a highly regarded singer/songwriter, now working on his 6th full-length solo CD. A multi award winner and finalist in numerous songwriting contests, Freebo’s music reflects his compassionate concern for the world and people around him, and his lyrics and open stage banter have helped him connect with listeners worldwide. A live musical experience with Freebo is astute, insightful, clever, and truly melodic.
KAT QUINN:
Kat Quinn is another absolute GEM that came to us through our Open Mic Night Series. She took the stage, tuned, got ready and not 30 seconds into her first song...WE WERE HOOKED!! Her songwriting was terrific, her voice and stage presence was captivating and her guitar chops were spot on. We invited her back immediately and this show seemed like the perfect showcase to introduce her to the Fallout Shelter audience...
Kat is an indie-pop singer and songwriter with roots in Boston, NYC, and LA. Originally hailing from Massachusetts, Quinn discovered her love for music at a young age with drums, piano, and guitar. Years later, she found herself with a broken heart and a guitar in her hands, and without even realizing what she was doing, she wrote her first song. That song is now long-forgotten (that’s not true.. she could probably play it right now, but wouldn’t want to put anyone through that), but her passion for songwriting has grown every day since.
This passion moved her to Nashville, then New York City, then Los Angeles, and now finally, back to Boston, where she spends her days writing songs and watching the seasons change. She has toured internationally, performed live on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and her music is frequently featured in trailers, commercials, and television shows (Netflix, CW, NBC, Disney+, Hulu, FOX, Showtime, Lifetime, Hallmark, and more). She is currently working on a new record.
