Fred took off just after his 73rd birthday on a marathon of a tour period that finally finished Sunday when he flew home from some rescheduled fun with
Mister PC at the
Jazz in Fort Ecluse series. Many thanks for the warm welcome to Mister PC and family,
Adriano Bassanini, and the beautiful staff and fans of the
Fort located on the French side of the border with Switzerland.
The week before found Fred touring the scenic Pacific Northwest with the youngsters of the band
Object Heavy and special guests including
Rashaan Ahmad, former Jill Scott trumpeter
Farnell Newton and saxophonist
Christopher Boa. Many thanks to the whole crew, including our friends at
Humboldt Green, the
Hummingbird Healing Center and
Northcoast Horticulture Supply.
Enjoy the photos below.
Up next, fans in Toronto, Canada, can catch Fred for
free with Abraham Inc at the Ashkenaz Festival on Sept. 3. Then on Sept. 14, he'll be a special guest
with the James Brown Band at the Charleston (SC) Music Hall. Watch for possible added dates in October, then see him Oct. 30 in Greensboro, NC, with
the Healing Blues Project.
