Freddy And The Freeloaders
Hailing from Danville, Illinois, Freddy And The Freeloaders entertained audiences across the US and Canada from 1962 through 1992. The band was always fronted by singer/bassist Fred Halls. There were several member changes through the years. No matter who was in the band they were a consistent draw at any venue they performed.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The band has been retired. But some of the musicians are still playing or involved in music in some way.
Anything else?
