New album-Travelin' man,by Little Sammy Davis and Midnight Slim at CDBaby
About Me:
Fred got his first guitar at age eleven and was playing high school concerts in less than six months. His first steady paying gig came at the age of thirteen, after his family moved to upstate New York, at a country bar, where he partnered with a local policeman and country singer named Ken Henry. At age seventeen, he made the transition from country to rock clubs.
By the early 80s, as a member of Street Talk with Debbie Major, Fred performed at venues all over the New York Tri-State area, including The Concord Hotel and the Jersey Shore circuit, where he has played with The Benny Troy Band and jammed with Tom Jones. The 1990s found him playing rock n roll, blues, funk, country, disco, and show bands in the New York area.
Fred and his brother Brad resurrected their former band, Midnight Slim, in the 80s with John Thompson and Randy Weimer and recorded some scorching instrumentals in the studio with Baron Raymonde on Sax and George Beckett on harp. In 1991, Fred hooked up with legendary blues artist Little Sammy Davis, a former partner of the great Earl Hooker, and brought him into the studio to record "Sitting on top of the World with Midnight Slim. During that same year, Fred introduced Little Sammy Davis to Don Imus on his morning radio show. The resulting interview with Sammy and Fred helped reintroduce Little Sammy Davis to the world, and was so popular that Midnight Slim with Little Sammy Davis became known as the "House band for the "Imus in The Morning Show playing Delta and Chicago blues, as well as gems from artists like Ray Charles and James Brown. As a regular contributor, Fred can be heard daily on Imus show aired on WABC radio in New York City. Midnight Slim also appeared on Broadway as part of Imus on Broadway, at the Saint James Theatre. Fred is particularly proud of his participation in "Tomorrows Childrens Fund, S.I.D.S., and Imus Ranch Radiothons which have raised millions of charitable dollars throughout the 90's.
Fred Scribner toured with and appears on Levon Helms "Midnight Ramble Vol. 1 with the legendary "Band" vocalist and drummer. As the driving force behind "Little Sammy Davis and Midnight Slim", Fred wrote, played guitar and produced the band's award winning 1996 release "I Ain't Lyin'", after being spotted by talent scout Scott Dicks at The House of Blues in Los Angeles. I Aint Lyin was released by Delmark Records and was nominated for the WC Handy Best New Artist Award in 1996, and won Living Blues Magazine's "Comeback Artist of 1996.
