I only got to play one gig for Ted Freed, in Clearwater FL a couple of years ago. I wish there had been more – he had a great vibe and clearly loved the music.
Ted lost his third battle with lymphoma and passed away on March 4 at age 51.
From that Creative Loafing story:
A benefit for Freed’s family to help them pay for his outstanding medical expenses will take place at Skipper’s Friday, March 21. Uncle John’s Band, COPE, Rob Pieniak (formerly of Buffalo Strange), and Christee Lennee perform; admission is $10.
Rest in peace, Ted Freed, and thank you for doing what you did.
