Molten Blue is a term from an Emily Dickenson poem called "I taste a Liquor never Brewed"
This poem has a rhythmic motion that has inspired me for a long time.

Yes..people can catch a Molten Blue show in the Southern Ontario area about once or twice a month. We'd like to keep playing for a long long time. It's always worthwhile, in a variety of venues. For example, tonight I played a solo show at a small cafe. Next week we're playing a large club. Whatever. It's all good.

I'd drive to Philedephia, run up the steps of city hall, and jump around in a grey track suit.

I'm writing a song right now about my experience tree planting
in BC. My friends and I would work like crazy during the day and then eat
and play music in the camp at night. Our crew was called "Elvis" and we
used to kick back and say "Soul...if I had to explain it, you wouldn't
understand." Well after planting thousands of baby trees, I came home with
a new clarity for song writing.

Of course I ran into those who thought it was 'nice' that
I had a hobby but I felt differently about it. By 1997 I had taken guitar
lessons, and a recording production course and had played in a few bands.
I then took the plunge into a recording project and throughout the summer
of 1998, you could find me in the studio, headphones on playing away, and
having a great time.

It was then that I met multi instrumentalist, Chris Lobsinger.
He was playing jazz songs on a ukulele and we became friends. He was curious
about my songs and played on a couple of the tracks for the CD. Our first
show together (as the Chris & Fred Band) was for a grade 8 class trip
at a nearby conservation area. We played some songs on acoustic guitars
and then really jammed out a Spice Girls tune. Needless to say, the kids
were a riot and Chris was more interested in joining me full time!

The CD, "Telling Time" was released in November 1998 and we
started playing live shows as Molten Blue soon after. We were thrilled by the reception
of the CD in Hamilton and across Ontario. College radio has been kind to
us as the CD spent some time on the charts.
