About Us

Pop music with a worldbeat attitude. Acoustic rock, pop, and country delivered with an emphasis on vocals and rhythm. All decades, from Elvis to Adele, from the Beatles to the Foo Fighters. (Check out the song list!) Gary McKinney (singer/songwriter and guitarist) Corrine Roos (vocals), Richard Roberts (bass and vocals), Jenny Roberts (keyboards, guitar, trumpet and vocals), Nathan Matson (drums and vocals), and Steve Jones (percussion). The Freeloaders can play your front room or a casino, a house concert or a concert in the park.

Who is Fritz? He was our original bass player's guide dog, the ever-lovable golden lab. When Dave left the name stuck, and Fritz evolved from a flesh-and-blood presence to logo and mythological presence.

Recordings include "Acoustic Street Music, Volume 1," "Volume 2," and the just release "Volume 3." No fancy names, just great CDs. Available at CD Baby.com. Gary is also an author, editor, publisher, and owner of Kearney Street Books (Books that Rock!). His current novel is "Darkness Bids the Dead Goodbye," the second in a mystery series featuring Sheriff Gavin Pruitt, Deadhead. (“Great fun!” says the Seattle Times.) The book is available at Amazon.
