The band stops at the Oriental Theater on Friday, March 10, with Denver music icon Hazel Miller opening the show.
The Freddy Jones Band is sure to play such hits at the Oriental on Friday, and Ross is especially excited to see Miller open the show. “Hazel has been a friend of mine for over twenty years. She’s a great person, great friend and a great singer,” says Ross, who, along with guitarist Terry Goldstein, lives in Denver. “Denverites can expect a high-energy show, hit songs and a few surprises, as well.
Joining Ross on stage will be founding frontman Marty Lloyd, Goldstein and drummer Greg “Goose” LaPoint. Despite the band’s name, Ross affirms that none of the members were ever named Freddy Jones. “When Marty was in college, he was practicing at a guy’s house, and this band was named after the guy singing. Marty said as a tribute to that guy, he was going to name his own band after a fictitious person, a random name,” explains Ross. “Originally, the band was going to be called Fred.
Apart from the worthy jubilee for “In a Daydream,” the band is also celebrating its two new singles, “Connected” and “Mirror Ball." Those songs had been sitting in a Dropbox file that Lloyd sent Ross in 2015. “It wasn’t until 2019, when I was sitting around, that I took a listen to the songs," Ross recalls."I called Marty right away and said, ‘Man, these demos are really good. We should go record them.
And that's what they did in January 2020, when the band had a couple of days off from touring. “We went to Studio on the Ridge in Nashville to flesh out the songs," Ross says."We were going to have them mixed in March, but then the pandemic hit, so we waited a year and a half before we actually did it, until times were more stable.”
