Since arriving in Nashville, Jean has been building an amazing catalog of songs and has become a regular at Nashville’s most prestigious venues. Jean has been selected as one of the stars for the new upcoming reality show ‘Another Country: Nashville’.

Jean was also one of the featured artists at the 2015 & 2016 “Magna Hoedown” in Toronto, one of Canada’s biggest charity shows. With cuts on multiple soon-to-be-released albums and placements in upcoming movies, Jean is making a mark as a songwriter, as well as working on his first Nashville album as an artist.

Freebo & His Fabulous Friends:

Join singer/songwriter, guitarist, and former bassist for Bonnie Raitt, FREEBO and his all-star band featuring RICK COWLING (Kenny Loggins, Ambrosia) on bass, FUZZBEE MORSE (Bono, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed) on guitar, & JOHN MOLO (Bruce Hornsby, John Fogerty) on drums, and JT THOMAS (Bruce Hornsby) on keys. Get ready for an awesome night of Folk-Rock & Blues and more.

Freebo is a genuine folk, rock and blues icon who, after over 40 years of recording and touring with many of the great artists of our time (Bonnie Raitt 10 years, CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, Neil Young, & many more) is regarded as one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of today. A multi award winner and finalist in numerous songwriting contests, Freebo was also recognized as the 'Best Folk Artist 2007' by the Los Angeles Music Awards. In addition, he has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Muppet Show, The Midnight Special, and in concert with the legendary Spinal Tap. Freebo’s compassionate concern for the world and people around him, as evidenced both in his lyrics and his open stage banter, has helped him connect with listeners worldwide. He will take an audience from insights about what kind of positive mark we hope to leave on the world upon our own passing with “Standing Ovation” to where you stand with your pets and your partner with “She Loves My Dog More Than Me.” A musical evening with Freebo will be astute, insightful, clever, and truly melodic.

"Freebo is more than one of LA's best players, he's also a richly gifted and distinctive songwriter, as expressive in his writing as on a bass" (Paul Zollo, Songwriters on Songwriting)

"Freebo's intimate and go-down-easy personable vocals tie in light-hearted fare, social commentary and spiritual quest with love-sweet-love, and make it sound seamless." (Janet Goodman, Music News Nashville)

"Standing Ovation is an astounding song which encompasses a profound view of life, destined to become a classic." (Russ Paris, Folkworks.org)

"Listening to Freebo is like riding on a cumulus cloud of peaceful awareness, a cosmic blend of folk/country/rock/soul ear-pleasing genre-defying music." (Walt Falconer, Cool Album of The Day)

"Freebo sounds as if he's not really singing to you; he's talking to you. One of the best albums of the year." (John Shelton Ivany, jsitop21.com)

The Cats:

• Robbie Wyckoff — Vocals
• Walfredo Reyes Jr. — Drums
• Freddie Washington— Bass
• Tony Pulizzi — Guitar
• Lilliana de los Reyes— Perc & Vocals
• Lenny Castro— Perc
• Special guest — Eric Marienthal  on Sax

David Garfield has had the same mission statement since moving from his hometown of St. Louis to Los Angeles as a teenager in the early 70s: “I make music.” Fully living up to this vision and in more expansive ways over the past few decades, the multi-talented keyboardist and musical Renaissance Man has established himself an eclectic force in popular music. At any given point during his career—and often at the same time—he has been a renowned songwriter, producer, bandleader (of Los Angeles based contemporary world jazz collective Karizma), arranger, recording artist, record label owner (Creatchy Records), session and touring musician, musical director and composer of various commissioned themes for global organizations.

Reflecting on his extraordinary, diverse career, the Los Angeles based Garfield says, “It’s creatively invigorating to have the opportunity to do so many interesting musical projects, to see so many amazing places throughout the world, and to work with some of the greatest musicians both in L.A. and overseas. I feel as though I am always learning from the artists and musicians I work with, not simply on a musical level, but also benefiting from their wealth of stories and life and career experiences. There are always unexpected thrills along the way, from opening with his band for Sergio Mendez or Jason Mraz to recording in a studio next to Paul McCartney or Alice in Chains and having the opportunity to meet and get to know them. I love being involved in so many different aspects of music and the feeling that I truly never know what’s coming up next.”
