Freddy Pink... formerly Freddy Pink and The Eastside, Freddy Pink and The Fabulous Kirkland Brothers, and originally Freddy Pink and The HightopsThe band started on Bainbridge Island, became the house act at a joint called Sinbads in Poulsbo playing six nights a week for a year and a half. We played primarily Kitsap and Jefferson Counties the next six months before breaking into the Seattle Wheat Germ Circuit i.e. The Rainbow, Mr. Bills, and The G-Note as well as the Pioneer Square scene. Although a very fun dance band and a favorite at Larry's, The Central, and Doc Maynards, the group was honored by playing the opening slots for Tina Turner, The Drifters, Smokey Robinson, Johhny Rivers, Little Richard and Tower of Power.
The group continues to evolve with top-O-the line seriously experienced, very long resume players, and a lot of new original material however, Tower Of Power, The Sons of Champlin, and it's good old fashioned, Bluesrock Roots are still the bands calling card.

We opened for Powder Blues, and a really wild night opening for Sly Stone. After our set, the horn section crashed the stage and played the show with Sly.
