Freddy & Francine

Freddy & Francine are full-time musicians, and have released three
full-length albums and two EPs — not to mention Ferris’s production of an album by award-winning actor
William H. Macy (featuring Caruso’s vocals), and the duo’s collaboration with Dead & Co. keyboardist Jeff
Chimenti on the musical direction and casting for 2017’s Off-Broadway musical “Red Roses, Green Gold,”
featuring the music of The Grateful Dead.
Keeping truckin’, Freddy & Francine plan to release their latest Nashville-recorded EP in
September. The six-song “Moonless Night,” co-produced by Dan Knobler (Lake Street Dive, Rodney
Crowell) finds Freddy & Francine — which has often used full bands on its recordings — still produced but
more intimately portrayed, a sound closer to the duo’s live performances.
But don’t call it folk music. It’s too energetic.
“We’re performers. We’re not just folk musicians who play and sing mellow songs with little voices
… there’s screaming,” Caruso said.
