It’s a study in contrast that is melodic. Alice Howe and Freebo — she of the naturally rich voice that brings soul to roots music; he the iconic rock and blues bassist best known for a decade-long collaboration with Bonnie Raitt — have teamed up for a thoughtful and well-received album, and they will perform at a house concert in Eugene. Howe and Freebo, who have been working together on stage and in the studio since 2017, are touring in support of Howe’s latest album, Circumstance. It was released in April and produced by Freebo at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Howe displays in the album her vocal range and writing chops with songs that take the listener on a wonderful journey across the Americana soundscape. She was selected the best female artist in the 2023 International Acoustic Music Awards. Besides his work with Raitt, Freebo has also recorded with Crosby, Stills and Nash as well as Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John and Neil Young.
Singer-songwriter Alice Howe and bassist Freebo perform in a house concert 7:30 pm Wednesday, May 10, at 70 E. Howard Avenue. $15.
Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
