Freddie Tane began his career in music with piano lessons at age
9, but was influenced by the Lovin Spoonful, Buffalo Springfield, Hendrix and
the Beatles to take up Acoustic and Electric Guitar. Making his way with
music, FT brought his "soulful folk-influenced blues'n'rock" feel as
lead/rhythm guitarist and harmony vocalist to recording groups, club bands and
touring show bands through the 1970's, often as musical director for many
types of singers and musical styles, amongst them Water Witch, City
Lights, JoAnne Dumas Revue, Jimmy Jackson, Moonstone, Haven and Buffy Groves
Trio. The 80's were highlighted by Freddie revisiting rock'n'roll's
50's roots while blazing trails across the highways of America with
Bill Haley's Comets.
He was the Tane in McDonnell*Tane, a folk duo known throughout the Northeast, opening for legends such as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Suzanne Vega, Jonathon Edwards and Arlo Guthrie and touring the coffehouse circuit during the Second Great Folk Music Scare of the 90's.. His interest in the digital recording revolution and other
experiential production pursuits (see
BigBambooProductions.com) continued through the turn of the century,
and the '00's have seen FT more involved in rock'n'roll combos with both
original and classics from the Great American Rock'N'Roll' Songbook. Latest club band is Orange Book - playing covers and original rock'n'pop'n'soul'n'roll - eclectic classic rock!
FT's instruments include acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, piano, keyboards and pedal steel
guitar. |
