They have a new album coming out this winter. They are now on the Bloodshot label.

 

 

If you haven't seen this list of towns we'll be hitting come February, (and why do we always go north or to Berlin in February?) here they are. If you don't see your town or one close to you, lets us know and on our next run we'll do our best to be there! On all of these dates will be sharing the stage with the fabulous Jaye Jayle of Louisville and on some very lucky nights, the inimitable Morgan Geer will play a solo set as well as rock the stage with us. We hope to see you. It's been too long!

If you have never listened to Freakwater - listen to It Feels Like The Third Time first. Because that is the first one I ever bought. And I'm fantastic.

After all these years they have finally landed on Bloodshot.  My first interaction with Bloodshot was trying to find their records 20 years ago when they had a song on the first Bloodshot compilation.  Now they are recording for them. Amazing.

Freakwater is NOTHING like Eleventh Dream Day.  It is a solid alt-country affair, not a rock band by any stretch.  If you like offbeat (like the Handsome Family), waltz time, low key,  country inflected songs, they are for you.  Janet does not play drums with Freakwater.

Just got my ticket to the Hideout show in 6 months....

 

Freakwater is a quirky band, not to everyone's taste.

I only have one of their albums (Feels Like the Third Time) and I dig it bunches. Looks like I'll have to put some into my Spotify queue today and check out other albums.
