Fred has a signature sound that draws together such styles as rock, reggae, jazz, and funk to form a tapestry of technically proficient grooves and powerful hooks. The members draw upon their vast experience and talent to put together an exciting, high energy performance. Chris Peeler fronts the group with strong lead vocals while showcasing his impressive drum set chops. Sammy Lersch fattens the groove with solid, deep bass lines that rumble the earth. With the groove set in a steady foundation, Todd Minnix ices the cake with his vocal harmonies and a mind-bending guitar. The recent addition of Jason Pritchard provides another layer of vocal harmonies, percussion and stage presence. The quirky, fun-loving nature of the group always adds an extra bit of flavor to the show. Combine these elements and you have Fred Green, a musical force to be reckoned with. Along with Fred Green comes an army of hit producers directing the group through the battlefield of today's music industry. With the recent release of their fourth full length album "Still Burnin'", they have put together an all star team of music industry professionals. Taking the advice of the Bendiksen Productions staff, the album was recorded at Mind's Eye Digital in Scottsdale, Arizona then sent to Grammy winning engineer Jason Corsaro (Soundgarden, Peter Gabriel, Madonna) at the Barber Shop in New Jersey for mixing. Two of the tracks were then taken to Portland, Maine for mastering by the legendary Grammy winner Bob Ludwig in preparation for radio release. The rest of the album was finalized by Jim Wilson at yet another Grammy winning hotspot, Airshow Mastering, in Boulder, Colorado. To top it all off, they get a little extra gravy from legendary drummer Tim Alexander (Primus) sitting in on a few tracks. The process has brought the band to an entirely new level according to Lance Bendiksen, owner of Bendiksen Productions. "They've been able to create a sound that's not like anyone else. You can pick out influences — yes, Primus, you even hear some Beatles in there, but it comes out sounding like Fred Green. And in an industry where everyone's looking for the next Coldplay or Dave Matthews copycats, Fred Green is the real deal." This album is a masterpiece of musicality and a testament to the future of the group. Po' Boy Drums is proud to Endorse Chris Peeler Tony Chadwick, owner of Po Boy Drums says about Chris “He is one of the most positive and dynamic members of our team without a doubt. His constant promotion and positive comments about our drums has really turned a lot of drummers on to our brand. Chris is also responsible for introducing including Jeff Garten from Crushed, Jamarl Baker from Seven Story Ruin, as well as the mysterious drummer behind the Po Boy kit in Fata Morgana. I cannot speak enough praise about Chris and Fred Green’s music, as well as his huge contribution to our family of artists.” Chris Peeler says - "I can't begin to tell you the incredible response I've gotten to the Po Boy bubinga birch kit. First off, the look and beauty of the drums blow people away. I've had several people tell me that they are the most beautiful drums that they have ever seen, and I have to agree! Secondly, this drumkit sounds incredible! The toms are responsive and melodic, the kick is huge and the snare has a great "crack" with quite a suprising range!..."
