Fred Weed Appears with Elite Artists in Berkeley at The Freight on February 12

Wow, who knew Fred had this much class! Lara St. John, Mike Marshall, Sam Bass, Dave Grossman, Lynda Arnold, Kelly Back, and Fred Weed. If you haven't heard any of these folks, you are in for a treat! Check it out!

Canadian-born violinist Lara St. John is a passionate, charismatic soloist who has performed with the orchestras of Cleveland, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Seattle, Montreal, and many more, as well as throughout Europe and Asia. Her previous three CDs, two of them dedicated to works by Bach, gained her great critical acclaim for her superb technique, musical imagination, and vitality. She has been featured in numerous publications, from People to US News and World Report, as well as on CNN's Showbiz Today and NPR's All Things Considered.

Joining Lara are an eclectic group of musicians from the worlds of jazz, pop, blues, rock, and classical, apparently united only in their devotion to the music of Bach. Featured are cellist Sam Bass, Dave Grossman on electric bass, Lynda Arnold on flute, electric guitarist Kelly Back, and Fred Weed on piano.

Note to Muffineers: Please refrain from yelling "MUF-FIN!!!" during Mr. Weed's performance.
