Don't miss California country rock/bluegrass legends Chris Hillman and Herb Pederson as they take the Freight for a rollicking ride across some of the vast territory they've charted in four decades of music making. Bluegrass mandolin picker, fabulous singer, and Rock 'n Roll Hall of Famer, Chris cowrote some of the cornerstone songs of the country-rock repertoire and was a member of The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, and the Desert Rose Band, among many many others. Banjo player and vocalist Herb Pedersen loaned his impeccable musicianship and crystal clear tenor to the Dillards and the Laurel Canyon Ramblers, as well as the Desert Rose Band. Tonight, the two old friends bring their superb vocal skills, brilliant instrumentation, and top-notch songwriting to bear on some truly amazing music, from the wonderful harmonies of Louvin Brothers duets to original honky-tonk rockers to bluegrass breakdowns, with a dash of Cajun and Tex-Mex thrown in for good measure. You can hear them on two duo albums, Bakersfield Bound and this year's Way Out West (Back Porch), but Chris and Herb must be seen to be believed!
