Band Leader Bass/Vocals
Freddie is the embodiment of the Chicago Blues. The 2nd son of the world-famous 7th Son, Willie Dixon, Freddie has been surrounded by the Blues since the day he was born. His father is a blues legend as a songwriter, producer, and musician. Willie was at the helm at Chess Records for many of the sides cut in the 1950s, 1960s, and into the 1970s.
Freddie began his blues career learning his chops by playing with a number of musicians in south-side blues clubs. He was soon hired to play in his father’s band, The Chicago Blues All-Stars, and traveled around the world spreading the gospel of the blues.
The torch was handed to Freddie in the early 1990s when his father passed away. Since then, Freddie has continued as a blues ambassador playing to crowds from Europe to Australia as well as locally in Chicago. In 2020 Freddie, along with Chicago Blues legends John Watkins and Maurice John Vaughan produced a 2 disc CD called “3×3,” which is available at most on line retail outlets.
Freddie is a member of the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame and currently resides in Chicago with his wife Linda.
