[edit] Career
His mother (who played classical piano) initially inspired Freund. In 1976, Freund moved to Chicago and began to play regularly with Sunnyland Slim, which then led to concerts playing alongside such notables as Hubert Sumlin, Big Walter Horton, Pinetop Perkins, Paul Butterfield, Luther Allison, Koko Taylor and Little Charlie & the Nightcats.[1]
By the late 1990s, Freund had begun a regular residency at the bar/club 'The Saloon' in San Francisco, almost always playing alongside blues pianist Wendy DeWitt.[1]
He appeared at the San Francisco Blues Festival in 2005.
