"One of the last great country blues players, Little Freddie King...lives the blues. He stays in a run-down apartment, in a deteriorating neighborhood, with a domineering wife. He rides a rickety bicycle which he calls his "two wheel cadillac" several miles to and from a downtown garage, where he rebuilds alternators. He is tormented by ulcers and headaches, but playing his cheap pawn shop guitars always makes him feel a little better at the end of the day." Jeff Hannusch (Offbeat Magazine)

Central Square Records will have CDs available to purchase. Come shake hands, get an autograph, have your picture taken (your camera), and listen to a short sample of what you will be listening to later on that evening on the big stage in Seaside. Get there early, because he is playing only a few songs, and the place will be packed!

Little Feddy

This cat rocks!!!!!!!!! Saw him in NOLA a few months back....WOW, what a nice man too and very humble. Also loves to play music!

Wait until he's on stage playing and does his rooster sound. That will wake up a few peeps.

The guitar licks this cat puts down is awesome....Everyone that loves any kind of guitar music should come see the King!

Peace out....

Does anyone know if he is related to the well-known "Freddie King," without the "Little?"

I know Friday night is free, how is Saturday free?

Saturday's Seaside Jazz Fest tickets are $50 each. This Free sample show, performed by Little Freddie King, will be at 1:00pm in Central Square Record store, located above SunDog Books in Seaside. Little Freddie will be playing only a few songs, so get there early, buy a CD and get an autograph, and if you like his sounds, go see the full show later that evening at the Seaside Jazz Fest.

Does anyone know if he is related to the well-known "Freddie King," without the "Little?"

"The well-known LATE Freddie King", sad to say. He was a Texan and, ahem, a big guy. I'd hazard a guess there's no relation.

No matter to me, I'm still looking forward to hearing Little Freddie.

Reminder, come up to SunDog Books / Central Square Records (located in Seaside), as Little Freddie King plays some "juke blues" at a FREE SHOW at 1:00pm on Sat, May 24. Little Freddie came all the way from New Orleans, LA to play us some the blues, so let's come show our support. CD's will be available for purchase, and if you are sweet, maybe you can get your copy autographed.

See you there
