GIRL'S NITE OUT - This band consits of 3 fabulous female musicians, (that's right, I included me haha): Tricia Freeman, Deannie Wood and Sissy Blue !
We are all lead lingers in our own bands, but just love singing together so much, that we formed this band. The original lineup included my daughter, Mercedez LaMont on Congas, djimbe and vocals.
This band has the most amazing harmonies, as our voices are so different that it sounds like a chorale when we sing. Check out our my space link.
Tricia Freeman Trio - this is the acoustic version of my full band. Larry Green, Eddie Keating and I do alot of the same songs with an acoustic feel, while adding several standards that Larry and Eddie manage to turn into amazing arrangements with only guitar and bass.
I play with all of the above mentioned musicians in different bastardizations of these bands ! I also play occasionally with Michael Ubaldini, singing back ups in his original band and on his CD's.

TRICIA FREEMAN:
Raised in Kansas and Texas, Tricia’s earliest memories of music go back to her mother’s love of jazz and blues, flooding the house with the likes of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and her favorite, Dinah Washington. Her father loved it all, from the Latin American to classical.
As she started developing her own taste in music, she began to lean more to the local country/bluegrass sound mixed with a rockin’ blues flavor that was prevalent in her college town of Lawrence, Kansas.
She made the big move to California at the age of 19 and immediately bought a guitar and a “how to” chord book. The rest just came naturally, from singing those country / blues songs at the local saloons, to performing in the stage production of “Godspell”, to performing at all sizes of venues, from local taverns to major festivals up & down the coast.
She has toured Europe from Finland to Germany several times, with different line ups, performing songs from her own CD’s and a blend of cover tunes that she makes completely her own with her bold original sound, that can only come from living the songs she sings.
Her studio work has brought her performance credits in 3 movies from Disney, Time Warner and Indigo Films. She also appeared on the television show, “Your Big Break”, paying tribute to Janis Joplin.
Tricia traveled to Memphis several times to sing back up vocals on 2 CD’s of Walter Trout, the amazing blues guitarist from “Canned Heat”. While there, she had the honor of working with producer, Jim Gains, of Santana fame, as well as, many other bands.
Besides Walter Trout, Tricia has also shared the stage with the likes of Spencer Davis, The Little River Band, Olivia Newton John, Missing Persons, Eric Burdon and The Animals, Eddie Money and just this year, 2007, she opened for Al Green & John Fogarty at the Doheny Blues Festival in Dana Point, California.
Ms. Freeman has a bold, humorous stage presence that will have you rolling with laughter between songs. This is why being compared to Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstad, and Melissa Etheridge, among others, has been “trumped” with other fan’s and critic’s opinions that she is much more like the multi-talented Bette Midler. Indeed, Ms. Freeman has that “Midler” appeal.
This singer/songwriter puts on a great show, no matter what size the venue or the audience. You will always get the “real thing” with Tricia Freeman.
