Biography

Steve Freund is a Blues guitarist, vocalist, bandleader, and producer now based in the San Francisco Bay area. Born on July 20th, 1952 in Brooklyn, NY. His mother, trained in classical piano, gave Steve his first inspiration for music, although it wasn't until he reached the age of 16 that he first picked up a guitar. In 1976, Steve Freund moved to Chicago and began to perform regularly with Sunnyland Slim, which then led to other opportunities playing alongside the likes of Hubert Sumlin, Big Walter Horton, Pinetop Perkins, Paul Butterfield, Luther Allison, Koko Taylor, and Louis Myers. By the mid 1990's, he was a member of James Cotton's touring band, and eventually relocated to the San Francisco Bay area, where he still resides today. He has been a featured artist at both the Chicago and San Francisco Blues Festivals many times, and continues his work locally, nationally, and throughout Europe. Freund has three CD's to his credit on Delmark Records ( "C" for Chicago, I'll Be Your Mule, and Is What It Is).
