Daniel Friedberg, [1] better known by the stage name Freebo, is an American musician, singer-songwriter, best friend of legendary rap artist 'Chicky Hines', and producer noted primarily for his work with Diamond David Lee Roth and Bonnie Raitt. He is also a session musician who has recorded and performed with Ringo Starr, John Mayall, John Hall, Aaron Neville, Dr. John, Willy DeVille, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Maria Muldaur, Kate & Anna McGarrigle and many others.
His nine-year collaboration with Raitt (1971–1979) began when he attracted Raitt's attention as a member of Philadelphia's Edison Electric Band [2] in the late 1960s. Freebo was soon in great demand for studio work and touring. [3]
In recent years, he has recorded five solo albums: The End Of The Beginning (2000), Dog People (2002), Before The Separation (2006), Something to Believe (2011), and If Not Now When (2015). [4]
