Description

“Together, on stage, Howe and Freebo are the perfect fit.” - Americana UK

Alice Howe & Freebo share a rare musical connection built on trust, history, and finely crafted songs. Freebo’s expressive fretless bass work—shaped by a decade alongside Bonnie Raitt and collaborations with legendary artists—intertwines seamlessly with Alice Howe’s clear, unforced vocals and thoughtful songwriting. Together, they create a focused, harmony-rich performance that highlights two distinct voices working as one. Their duo album Alice Howe & Freebo Live debuted at #1 on the Folk Radio Charts, making this an ideal night to experience their collaboration in the intimate setting of Godfrey Daniels, a true Live Music Listening Room.

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.

Freebo is a genuine folk, rock, and blues icon who has toured and recorded with some of the greatest artists of his generation, and is best known for his ten years as bassist with Bonnie Raitt. His fretless bass can be heard on records by John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Crosby Stills & Nash, Maria Muldaur, Joe Walsh, Dr. John, and many more. Freebo is also a multi-award-winner and finalist in numerous songwriting contests, was recognized as Best Folk Artist by the Los Angeles Music Awards, and has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Muppet Show, The Midnight Special, and in concert with the Legendary Spinal Tap.

Alice Howe had the honor of being named Best Female Artist at the International Acoustic Music Awards. To hear her 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. Her poetic lyrics and melodic sensibilities take center stage on her latest solo album Circumstance, produced by Freebo and recorded at legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL. Americana Highways writes of Circumstance: “One of 2023’s best albums. This isn’t just a singer – this is an artist.”

Alice & Freebo have been working as a duo since 2017, and together they tour relentlessly, playing over 85 shows annually in both 2024 and 2025 across US and Europe. “A beguiling blend of folk, rock, blues, and soul,” their collaboration reveals a deep musical kinship that transcends their generational divide. Their latest album Alice Howe & Freebo Live debuted as the #1 Most Played Album on the Folk Radio Charts, and also landed on its Top Ten Albums of 2025.

“When these two get together, prepare yourself for an extraordinary evening of song and smiles, and maybe a tear or two. Powerful songwriting, mesmerizing vocals, outstanding musicianship, and a palpable camaraderie make for an experience unsurpassed on the contemporary acoustic scene.” - The Folk Music Notebook

It’s a cherished space where artists and audiences can come together to celebrate live, diverse music in a truly immersive and unforgettable setting that embodies the essence of music appreciation.

SO, WHAT IS A ‘MUSIC LISTENING ROOM’?

A music listening room is a dedicated space or venue designed to create an intimate and focused atmosphere for live music performances. It provides a setting where the primary focus is on the music and the experience of actively listening to it. Unlike traditional concert venues or bars, music listening rooms prioritize respectful attention from the audience, creating an environment where the music takes center stage and performers can connect with their listeners on a deeper level. The seating arrangement, acoustics, and overall ambiance of a music-listening room are carefully designed to enhance the listening experience, allowing for a more intimate and immersive encounter between the audience and the artists.
