Widely sought after for his knowledge of and fluency in the Blues
idioms, Freund has earned a reputation as one of the hottest
players on today's blues scene. He served an unreproducible
apprenticeship after leaving N.Y.C. In 1976, learning the role of
second guitar behind Hubert Sumlin, Lee Jackson, Homesick James,
Louis Myers, and many others. He spent two years working with Big
Walter Horton and Floyd Jones, learning the deep blues and the
idiosyncrasies that are part of the art.
In 1978, he became Sunnyland Slim's main guitarist, playing just
about every gig with the piano legend until the time of his
death. Freund became the consummate piano accompanist working
with Pinetop Perkins, Jimmy Walker, Henry Gray, Erwin Helfer,
David Maxwell and many more.
