Don't miss California country rock and bluegrass legends Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen tonight, when they take the Freight for a rollicking back- roads adventure through the vast territory they've charted in four decades of music making.

Bluegrass mandolin player, fabulous singer, and Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer, Chris cowrote some of the cornerstone songs of the country-rock repertoire and played everything from hippie psychedelia to jazz fusion as a member of beloved groups like The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, and the Desert Rose Band, among many many others. Last year, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association in Nashville (an honor shared by the likes of Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris).

Fiery banjo picker and vocalist Herb Pedersen loaned his impeccable musicianship and crystal clear tenor to well-known folk and country music artists like the Dillards, the Laurel Canyon Ramblers, and the Desert Rose Band. Tonight, these two old friends bring their superb vocal skills, brilliant instrumentation, and top-notch songwriting to bear on some truly great music, from the harmonies of Louvin Brothers duets and original honky-tonk rockers to dance-hall waltzes and bluegrass breakdowns, with a dash of Cajun and Tex-Mex thrown in for good measure. You can hear them on several duo albums, including the recent Way Out West (Back Porch), but Chris and Herb simply have to be seen live!
