One of the best contemporary singer/songwriters is writing "we" songs, not "me" songs. Check back often to get Fred's newest lyrics, download mp3 files, or order the latest CD.

 

Fred has been part of protests against the Gulf Wars and US policy toward Cuba and Haiti. His “Singing Cars” has been featured on NPR’s “Car Talk” show. Workers at the Doe Run lead smelting plant in Missouri (the biggest polluter in the state) played the song Fred wrote for them on the picket lines and the local radio station, and sold copies to raise strike funds. Two songs Fred wrote for strikers at Peabody Coal were spread around by Anne Feeney and by Charlie King. “Rollin’ Thunder”—the true story of a night on the picketlines at a Firestone plant in Iowa—helped to organize support for workers fighting to get their jobs back there.
