An Evening with Alice Howe & Freebo at Cafe No9 (the First of Two Back to Back Shows)

The Spiel

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 new album Alice Howe & Freebo Live is the #1 Most Played Album on the National Folk Radio Charts. 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 25 years, he’s been writing and performing his own award-winning music. Alice & Freebo have been working as a duo since 2017, and he produced Alice's critically acclaimed album Circumstance, recorded at iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. “Powerful songwriting, mesmerizing vocals, outstanding musicianship, and a palpable camaraderie make for an experience unsurpassed on the contemporary acoustic scene.” The Folk Music Notebook ********************************************************************************** Please note this ticket price DOES include a BYOB fee should you wish to bring alcohol to the venue.
