Rico's Blues News Podcast #2

This week's podcast features our special guest co-host, Orion Sanders of Notorious Entertainment, and the promoter of the Kern River Rock and Blues Festival, now in its 15th year.We ran into Freebo and Alice Howe at the 2025 NAMM Show, and they were kind enough to chat with us about their partnership, what's coming up for them, and music as they see it.Alice Howe and Freebo present a unique contrast study, bringing together a rising voice in Americana music and a venerable rock, folk, and blues icon. 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. Together with their band, Marty Walsh (guitar) and Peter Whitehead (drums), they both lead and support each other in their well-crafted songs with flawless harmonies and tasteful instrumentation.
