The Freddie Long Band

The FLB will be back once again playing at Frederick's annual IN THE STREET festival, where it all began for us. We will be performing on the Carroll Creek stage at 3:45pm for our fourth appearance at one of the biggest events in Frederick, MD.

The festival is all ages and free to the public. To find more information ab...out the festival including a full schedule of the day's performances and events, visit:

We will also be celebrating the release of our sophomore album 'Shotgun With The Devil' at the show, and to commemorate the new release we'll be showing the hometown love: For every CD bought at the festival, we'll be giving away an extra free copy for buyers to give to friends and family. It's our humble way of giving back to all of the folks here in our hometown and elsewhere who have supported us over the years, and we hope that those who dig the music will pass it on to others who might also enjoy it.Read More

The FLB we will be back on stage and channeling all the Fear, Loathing, and Gonzo vibes we can at Flying Dog Brewery's annual GonzoFest. In addition to The FLB's second performance at the festival and all the Flying Dog beer you can fit your mouth around, this year's event will also feature Mark Bryan from Hootie and t...he Blowfish, Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes and his band ...soihadto..., as well as Flying Dog's own Uncle Rocko.

To compliment the music, brews, and Gonzo Way, GonzoFest will also be hosting the Maryland State Chili Cook-Off Championship and a Hunter S. Thompson lookalike contest. Best of all, your attendance will be helping the community--part of the proceeds from the festival will go to The United Way of Frederick County.

Last year was a blast celebrating at the home brewery and this year is already shaping up to outdo the last. We have been warned that tickets are selling fast and that there might not be many (or any!) left at the door, so to purchase tickets now and find out more information, visit:
