Kendall and I finally finished work on his new project “Truth Changes”. I first heard Kendall’s album Radar on Bear Radio in 2004 and I knew he was a seriously talented artist with a unique voice and vision. I booked him for Bearapalooza that year, and he surprised me by changing gears to Hip-Hop. Five years later, he continues to evolve and uses any genre necessary, including comedy and parody to get his message across. For the last couple of years he has wanted to release a collection that showcases every facet of his genius, from ear candy pop, to hip-hop, classic rock, ballads and a bunch of stuff I can’t even categorize. When he asked me to collaborate on his next project, I jumped at the chance.

I worked on about half of the tunes on the CD, contributing some writing here and there, providing instrumentation and arrangements, doing background vocals, producing and mixing some of the tracks. This has been a labor of love for me and I am incredibly proud of our accomplishment on this CD. Read the note from Kendall below about how to get the CD.  (Freddy Freeman)

My good friend John Gilbert Leavitt is releasing the EP "Pride at 40" which will include a song called Pride, a 6 minute history of the LGBT movement. I took the tracks from Johns original and enhanced the drums, gave it a funky bassline, did some vocals, remixed remixed and polished up. Vocals are sung by John, Kevin Hannan and myself.

2008 was the most exciting year for Bearapalooza yet! The Bearapalooza Road Trip across the Northeast was a great success, and we had great shows in Nashville, Sawmill (Florida), Timberfell Lodge in Tennessee, and Millwaukee Pride. Be sure to check out all of our photos, videos and more on our Flikr, Youtube and Myspace pages! I took a little break from Bearapalooza to work on some recording projects, but over the coming months you will start to see more exciting things happening later in 2009. We are already booked for Sawmill in October, and are now planning events in West Virginia, Millwaukee, and Little Rock. Michael is already making preliminary plans for a big event in Baltimore, Gordon Michaels of Bears For Music, is planning a his own New England Tour in association with Bearapalooza, and we are going to be talking to some more resorts and campgrounds as well. 2009 is going to be another great year for Bearapalooza !
