SUMMARY:Benefit Concert for the Lagoon
DESCRIPTION:The Brevard Indian River Lagoon Coalition is proud to be bringing national recording artists Freebo and Alice Howe to the Schenck Shop Schack for a Benefit Concert for the Lagoon on Wednesday February 4th at 7PM. Proceeds will go to help further the educational programs that have helped the healing of the Indian River Lagoon over the past 9 years. \nGrab your tickets today\nWith the efforts of the SOIRL (Save Our Indian River Lagoon) program and many other organizations\, we are seeing improvements but know we still have a long way to go. \nPlease click the link below to purchase tickets. We have limited seating and expect a sellout. \nAlice Howe & Freebo have undeniable chemistry. Rock bass legend Freebo weaves his fretless stylings into Alice’s soulful\, impeccably-tuned vocals for a harmony-driven performance showcasing two uniquely compelling songwriters. \nBest known for his ten years playing bass with Bonnie Raitt\, Freebo has toured and recorded with some of the greatest artists of his generation\, including John Mayall\, Ringo Starr\, Crosby Stills & Nash\, Maria Muldaur\, Joe Walsh\, and Dr. John. For the past twenty-five years\, he’s been writing\, recording\, and performing his own original music. To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural\, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice\, no histrionics — just honest\, authentic\, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her. She recently had the honor of being named Best Female Artist at the International Acoustic Music Awards.\nFreebo and Alice have been working as a duo since 2017\, and he produced her latest record Circumstance\, recorded at iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals\, Alabama. Their latest album Alice Howe & Freebo Live is their first release as a duo\, and it debuted as the #1 Most Played Album on the Folk Radio Charts. \n“When these two get together\, prepare yourself for an extraordinary evening of song and smiles\, and maybe a tear or two. Powerful songwriting\, mesmerizing vocals\, outstanding musicianship\, and a palpable camaraderie make for an experience unsurpassed on the contemporary acoustic scene.” – Ron Olesko\, The Folk Music Notebook \nFor more information on what you can do to help the Lagoon\, go to www.HelpTheLagoon.org \nTo join us on February 4\, for the concert\, go here: \nGET TICKETS
