Michael D'Eath and Brenda Freed of Him and Her will be my songwriter guests.
Him & Her, from Albert Texas, is a bluesy, jazzy, folksy band featuring singer songwriter Brenda Freed on vocals, and guitar or piano, Michael D'Eath (DEE-uth) on diatonic and chromatic harmonica, and Duke Davis on upright bass. The full band features Curtis Clogston on pedal steel and Jeff Brosch on drums.
In 2005, Michael & Brenda's band Texas Hot Flash won an Austin Music Award, self-released 3 CDs, performed throughout Central Texas and Southern California, and opened for the Charlie Daniels Band. Formed from those successful roots, Him & Her has since created a special musical chemistry and performed throughout the Texas Hill Country, the Midwest and in England. Duke Davis is an award winning singer songwriter, musician, producer, poet, free-lance writer, historian and cowboy. He's had his own Western Swing Band, "Buckshot," since 1979 and has produced over 230 recordings for dozens of artists. He is in high demand as a bassist having played with Mike Blakely the last six years, as well as with Him & Her. Couple Michael's tasty harmonica playing with Brenda's soulful voice and Duke's upright bass and you get a powerful trio sound that is sure to delight listening audiences. Him & Her has released two albums, most recently, Him & Her In the Groove (2016).
