Her musical origin story captivates as she recounts her first band audition, performed from a bathroom with running water to mask her nervousness after her bass-player boyfriend discovered her singing talent.

The conversation delves into the evolution of her musical career, from winning a West Virginia Blues competition to her current projects including a Blues and Roots album titled "The Know How," a country single dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and an upcoming gospel album featuring her first self-written song. Listeners are treated to a stunning acapella performance of "Wade in the Water" that showcases the soulful voice that has earned her recognition as Pittsburgh's premier blues vocalist.

What resonates most throughout this episode is Miss Freddye's philosophy on authenticity and perseverance. "Be true to yourself. Don't sell your soul, because it really ain't worth it in the long run," she advises, emphasizing the importance of having multiple plans when facing life's inevitable obstacles. Her wisdom, drawn from real-life experiences balancing multiple careers and overcoming health challenges, offers inspiration for anyone pursuing their passions.

00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:08.390
Welcome to the Living the Dream Podcast with Curveball, if you believe you can achieve.

00:00:08.390 --> 00:00:24.533
Welcome to the Living the Dream with Curveball Podcast, a show where I interview guests that teach, motivate and inspire.

00:00:24.533 --> 00:00:30.004
Today, I am joined by Pittsburgh Lady of the Blues, miss Freddie.

00:00:30.004 --> 00:00:33.755
Miss Freddie is a blues singer-songwriter.

00:00:33.755 --> 00:00:43.884
She's been singing for a long time and she has a beautiful voice and hopefully she will, you know, grace us with that beautiful voice sometime in the interview.

00:00:43.884 --> 00:00:52.832
But we're going to be talking to her about everything that she's up to and any new projects that she's working on and how she got started.

00:00:52.832 --> 00:00:55.427
So, ms Freddie, thank you so much for joining me.

00:00:56.539 --> 00:00:57.424
Oh, you're welcome.

00:00:57.424 --> 00:00:58.609
Thank you for having me.

00:00:58.609 --> 00:01:04.350
I am very, very blessed and glad that I'm here with you and everybody out there too.

00:01:05.579 --> 00:01:08.469
Why don't you start off by telling everybody a little bit about yourself?

00:01:11.802 --> 00:01:16.453
I wear many hats, which that's what I chose to do in life.

00:01:16.453 --> 00:01:27.135
I'm a mom and a grandma and I'm a nurse working full time, still in the setting of outpatient.

00:01:27.135 --> 00:01:35.909
We deal with pancreatic, colon and rectal cancers, and I'm a two time breast cancer survivor.

00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:39.665
I'm also musician.

00:01:39.665 --> 00:01:40.789
I have two bands.

00:01:40.789 --> 00:01:41.831
I'm the singer.

00:01:41.831 --> 00:01:55.691
Miss Freddie's Blues Band is the one and Miss Freddie's Home Cooking Band is the other one, and a lot of people will not believe this when I tell them, because there are a lot of people that follow me and then people know me personally.

00:01:55.691 --> 00:01:59.831
I applied to Barber School here in my area and I got accepted.

00:01:59.831 --> 00:02:01.686
I'm just waiting on when I can start.

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.805
Man, that sounds like you're doing it big.

00:02:09.692 --> 00:02:11.163
You know what I have to tell you.

00:02:11.163 --> 00:02:14.532
I thought I was busy.

00:02:14.532 --> 00:02:18.770
I guess I'm not busy enough, but I love what I do in life.

00:02:18.770 --> 00:02:27.264
You know, I started out singing as a kid just with a neighborhood friend and we would pretend we're singing in front of thousands of people.

00:02:27.264 --> 00:02:36.150
Then one Christmas my mom bought me this pink microphone little plastic thing attached to like I guess what would be a speaker.

00:02:36.150 --> 00:02:40.443
But I really didn't get out there singing in front of people till I was 15 in the church.

00:02:40.443 --> 00:02:41.205
I grew up in a church.

00:02:41.205 --> 00:02:42.986
I was 15 in the church, I grew up in a church.

00:02:42.986 --> 00:02:59.262
My first solo in the church at 15 and it did not go well and that's how I developed my stage fright.

00:02:59.262 --> 00:03:04.090
But throughout the years, in my 20s and 30s, I continued singing in the church and the choir but, you know, never out front background until 96.

00:03:04.631 --> 00:03:06.133
I was dating a bass player in a band.

00:03:06.133 --> 00:03:08.182
I would go out and hear the band you're pretty good.

00:03:08.182 --> 00:03:10.610
They did blues, um.

00:03:10.610 --> 00:03:15.283
And then he heard me sing one of my favorite holiday songs, silent night.

00:03:15.283 --> 00:03:22.512
I was singing it to my youngest he was three at the time, I was singing it acapella and he's like I didn't know you could sing and I said I didn't know either.

00:03:22.512 --> 00:03:32.691
He said we're looking for a singer and I, you, I just, I just kind of went to pieces inside and then he coached me and I went to audition.

00:03:32.691 --> 00:03:45.092
The band was in one room and I went in the bathroom the court had to be 100 feet and turned on the water and I just made up something, had no idea about blues, even though my mom I grew up with my mom listening to blues.

00:03:45.092 --> 00:03:54.495
My dad listened to country, you know, and I got in the band and you know here I am over the years.

00:03:54.539 --> 00:04:02.789
And then I ended up I was a nurse already Because I wanted to be a pediatrician, I wanted to be a neurosurgeon, but it didn't work out that way.

00:04:02.789 --> 00:04:12.181
So I chose nursing, which I'm glad, you know, because I get to actually interact with the patients that I've taken care of over the years and I love to teach.

00:04:12.181 --> 00:04:14.949
So patient education is my big thing.

00:04:14.949 --> 00:04:24.584
I love, you know, teaching, you know, especially patients that are getting ready to have surgery or they, you know, they're going through a crisis because they've been diagnosed with cancer.

00:04:24.584 --> 00:04:32.204
I can relate to that during that diagnosis, because it's terrifying, it truly is, because your first thought is how long am I going to have to live?

00:04:32.204 --> 00:04:35.163
And oh my goodness, I got to do what I have to do.

00:04:35.163 --> 00:04:38.803
So, um, that's me in a nutshell.

00:04:41.471 --> 00:04:43.264
Okay, well, you said you had two bands.

00:04:43.264 --> 00:04:50.454
You know, you know, kind of, tell us about your two bands, how they got started, tell us about the members and anything else you want us to know about the band.

00:04:51.577 --> 00:04:52.841
Absolutely so.

00:04:52.841 --> 00:05:02.148
96, I joined my first band, bmw Blues Music Works and Big Al Leavitt he's a little four foot 11 guy.

00:05:02.148 --> 00:05:04.709
He was a psychologist but he loved blues.

00:05:04.709 --> 00:05:07.790
I mean, he could play that keyboard like nobody's business.

00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:19.088
And then after a while, about 2002, 2003, I ventured off, started my own thing called Blue Phase, and a couple of the band members from the band I was in, you know, helped me out with play out.

00:05:19.148 --> 00:05:24.564
I didn't play often because I had no clue about marketing myself, my brand.

00:05:24.564 --> 00:05:26.507
I had no clue with booking gigs.

00:05:26.507 --> 00:05:37.663
So the way I would go out and you know book gigs, shows is I would take one of my favorite love songs at last at a James version and I would sing acapella.

00:05:37.663 --> 00:05:38.624
I would go to a venue and sing acapella.

00:05:38.624 --> 00:05:39.185
So that's how I got my gigs.

00:05:39.185 --> 00:05:40.045
I would go to a venue and sing acapella.

00:05:40.045 --> 00:05:41.708
So that's how I got my gigs.

00:05:41.767 --> 00:05:53.264
But fast forward, blue Phase F-A-Z-E was my first band and we played out.

00:05:53.264 --> 00:05:55.091
Not a lot, but we played out.

00:05:55.091 --> 00:06:04.654
We competed in some blues competitions and then we went to West Virginia the now defunct West Virginia Blues Society, miss Freddie's Blues Band.

00:06:04.654 --> 00:06:09.242
We were called Blue Phase and we won.

00:06:09.242 --> 00:06:10.125
That was 2008,.

00:06:10.125 --> 00:06:11.488
And we went to Memphis to represent West Virginia.

00:06:11.488 --> 00:06:12.954
We didn't win or place but it was a good experience.

00:06:12.954 --> 00:06:14.579
Never been that part of the South and I loved going there.

00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.841
But fast forward.

00:06:15.841 --> 00:06:19.326
I have now Miss Freddie's Blues Band.

00:06:19.326 --> 00:06:21.329
It's me the lead singer.

00:06:21.329 --> 00:06:23.232
Then I have Greg Casill.

00:06:23.232 --> 00:06:26.322
I dubbed him as G-Man, so everybody knows him as G-Man.

00:06:26.322 --> 00:06:28.312
He's my lead guitar player.

00:06:28.312 --> 00:06:34.684
Then my bass player is Greg Seiko and he also runs sound for us.

00:06:34.684 --> 00:06:35.728
He's a good sound man.

00:06:35.728 --> 00:06:39.786
And then I have Bob Powers.

00:06:39.786 --> 00:06:43.980
I've named him Bobby Deal on lap steel because he plays the lap steel and it rhymes.

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:44.682
I like it.

00:06:44.682 --> 00:06:47.689
And my drummer he's new to the band.

00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:51.745
He just came last year around this time this is his anniversary year with me.

00:06:51.745 --> 00:06:53.571
His name is Sean Tyler.

00:06:53.571 --> 00:06:58.122
He's a great drummer and I just found out not too long ago he could sing.

00:06:58.122 --> 00:07:01.529
Then my second band, me again singing.

00:07:01.529 --> 00:07:03.333
And then I have Mike Houston.

00:07:03.333 --> 00:07:07.024
He plays guitar and he sings.

00:07:07.024 --> 00:07:12.074
And Greg Seiko, the bass player from the first band, is in this band also.

00:07:12.074 --> 00:07:14.985
And I have a percussionist.

00:07:14.985 --> 00:07:16.327
His name is Bob DeCola.

00:07:16.327 --> 00:07:19.802
He plays congas but lately he's been bringing out his drums.

00:07:19.802 --> 00:07:22.045
So I have the variety of both worlds.

00:07:22.086 --> 00:07:22.807
The blues band.

00:07:22.807 --> 00:07:25.591
We play blues, a little bit of R&B, soul clap.

00:07:25.591 --> 00:07:29.182
You know rock, blues rock, the home cooking band.

00:07:29.182 --> 00:07:35.274
We do blues, classic rock, gospel, because every now and then we get commissioned.

00:07:35.274 --> 00:07:40.608
We're asked to you know, do a show at a church, or I'll get asked to do a duo show.

00:07:40.608 --> 00:07:41.410
You know a church.

00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:42.711
Do a couple of selections.

00:07:42.711 --> 00:07:48.009
So that those are my guys in a nutshell and I'm proud of both bands.

00:07:48.009 --> 00:07:51.819
There's such good guys to work with I don't have to worry about anything.

00:07:51.819 --> 00:08:00.762
So all together combined had both bands and probably about since 2008, 2009.

00:08:00.762 --> 00:08:04.709
And it's been all uphill ever since.

00:08:06.192 --> 00:08:08.146
Okay, well, congratulations on that.

00:08:08.146 --> 00:08:11.790
Well, I know you do have a beautiful voice.

00:08:11.790 --> 00:08:13.843
So, if you would, you know what?

00:08:13.843 --> 00:08:18.310
Why don't you grace the listeners with a bit of acapella so they can hear what I've heard?

00:08:21.574 --> 00:08:22.134
You know what?

00:08:22.134 --> 00:08:24.067
How about if I do Wade in the Water?

00:08:24.067 --> 00:08:25.425
Everybody knows that.

00:08:25.425 --> 00:08:28.463
Well, not everybody, but a lot of people know that and I tell people.

00:08:28.463 --> 00:08:31.747
If you know the song whenever I'm out, sing along with me.

00:08:32.561 --> 00:08:35.890
Yeah, go ahead and tell it now, I will, I will.

00:08:37.431 --> 00:08:41.150
Wade in the water.

00:08:41.150 --> 00:08:45.548
Wade in the water.

00:08:45.548 --> 00:08:50.440
Children Wade in the water.

00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:55.152
You know God's gonna trouble the water.

00:08:55.152 --> 00:09:00.032
See that host, all dressed in white.

00:09:00.032 --> 00:09:03.645
He's gonna trouble the water.

00:09:03.645 --> 00:09:08.961
Well, it looks like the children of the Israelites.

00:09:08.961 --> 00:09:12.504
He's gonna trouble the water.

00:09:12.504 --> 00:09:17.249
Well, wait in the water.

00:09:17.249 --> 00:09:25.756
Wait in the water, children, wait in the water.

00:09:25.756 --> 00:09:30.030
I said God's gonna trouble the water.

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:34.409
Wow, there it is, ladies and gentlemen.

00:09:36.263 --> 00:09:39.385
I love singing that song and I still do it.

00:09:39.385 --> 00:09:41.346
I still play it out with both bands.

00:09:41.346 --> 00:09:41.797
Yeah, it's a cool song.

00:09:41.797 --> 00:09:41.831
Yes, you are good, do it.

00:09:41.831 --> 00:09:42.364
I still play it out with both bands.

00:09:42.364 --> 00:09:42.812
Yeah, it's a cool song.

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:51.392
Yes, you are good at it, so tell us about, you know, any upcoming projects that you guys are working on and you know.

00:09:51.392 --> 00:09:54.515
Tell us what inspired them and what we can expect when we listen to them.

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:57.246
Oh my gosh, I have.

00:09:57.246 --> 00:10:00.500
Well, I have several things going on musically.

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:02.822
I have several things going on musically.

00:10:02.822 --> 00:10:05.384
I'm still working on my Blues and Roots album.

00:10:05.384 --> 00:10:09.586
It's all original material and the songwriter is Mike Sweeney.

00:10:09.586 --> 00:10:21.157
He's a bass player but he writes a lot of music for a lot of musicians and he even has a folder for each musician and I know my folder is thick because I've seen it.

00:10:21.157 --> 00:10:23.863
He's like I've got this song and try this.

00:10:23.863 --> 00:10:33.626
But all the songs on that album, um, are his and I love every last one of them because they it's a tribute to my parents.

00:10:33.626 --> 00:10:37.701
Both my parents are from the south and, as I mentioned before, my mom loved blues.

00:10:37.701 --> 00:10:42.544
My dad, you know, loved country, but you they love R&B and the soul thing.

00:10:42.544 --> 00:10:50.292
But you know, it's really that deep down stuff that I'm doing and the title of the album is going to be called the Know how.

00:10:50.292 --> 00:10:59.863
So I'm excited about that and it's actually different local musicians who have played on it, so it's a variety of everybody.

00:11:00.003 --> 00:11:08.967
Then I'm working on a country tune that is off of my very first album back in 2010.

00:11:08.967 --> 00:11:10.952
And the title of that song is Pink Lemonade.

00:11:10.952 --> 00:11:17.294
I'm going to release it as a single next couple months or so and it's a tribute, it's a great song.

00:11:17.294 --> 00:11:27.822
Reminds you sitting outside the kids are playing, you know people are cooking and here somebody comes out with this great big pitcher lemonade and I also want to dedicate it.

00:11:27.822 --> 00:11:34.335
Rededicate it to October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, especially with me being a breast cancer survivor twice.

00:11:34.335 --> 00:11:36.847
So that's my one project.

00:11:37.562 --> 00:11:48.243
And then I have I'm going to be working on a gospel album and I actually wrote my very first gospel song and I think that song is going to.

00:11:48.243 --> 00:12:01.042
I had an original song that the Home Cooking Band spins off into the gospel band called the Glory B Band, and I was going to title the album that.

00:12:01.042 --> 00:12:04.864
But I think I'm going to title it the gospel song that I wrote.

00:12:04.864 --> 00:12:13.889
So stay tuned on that and it's only going to be like maybe anywhere five to eight songs, you know, because I want people to really listen and to really get into that.

00:12:13.889 --> 00:12:18.851
So you know three, four different musicians to do some background vocals on their original songs that they've written.

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:42.504
So I'm excited about that, very busy with the projects and you know that's what's coming now, next year, coming Now next year.

00:12:42.504 --> 00:12:47.991
I want to write, not write, but I think I want to produce an album that has all love songs, all original.

00:12:47.991 --> 00:13:02.375
So the love songs that I have done throughout the years that are original is going to redo them and then just put it on the album and hopefully, hopefully, I can get it out by February 14th of next year.

00:13:02.375 --> 00:13:09.613
So that's what I have going on top of you know, when do I start barber school?

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:14.210
Absolutely, and so listeners can keep up with everything that you're up to.

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.462

You all can check me out on Facebook.

00:13:19.649 --> 00:13:28.014
Just go to Miss Freddie, that's M-I-S-S-F-R-E-D-D-Y-E and look me up and like my page and follow me.

00:13:28.014 --> 00:13:31.243
I have a website, missfreddycom.

00:13:31.243 --> 00:13:39.664
I'm on Instagram, freddie Stover's Blues, and I'm on X formerly Twitter, as at MissFreddy17.

00:13:39.664 --> 00:13:41.227
So follow me there.

00:13:41.227 --> 00:13:43.532
You can find my music on YouTube.

00:13:43.532 --> 00:13:51.192
You can find it on iTunes, amazon, pretty much a majority of the music platforms that are out there.

00:13:51.192 --> 00:14:00.163
So I'm excited I've got, I'm doing a lot of different new shows not going out of town, though, because I don't know when I'm going to start school, so I don't want to be away.

00:14:00.163 --> 00:14:06.772
You know touring or doing a show, and I get a call oh, you've got to start school on this Monday or whatever.

00:14:06.772 --> 00:14:13.726
So I'm staying close to home this year and that's how they can find me, and it's exciting times.

00:14:13.726 --> 00:14:16.606
I might be busy, but not really.

00:14:18.410 --> 00:14:18.972
Absolutely.

00:14:18.972 --> 00:14:22.149
It's never work when you're doing something that you love.

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:24.009
That is very true.

00:14:24.009 --> 00:14:28.467
That is very true and I'm very grateful for that.

00:14:28.467 --> 00:14:30.125
And I'm teaching myself to play bass.

00:14:30.125 --> 00:14:33.642
Oh, there you go, I got my bass.

00:14:33.642 --> 00:14:35.065
I've had her for two years.

00:14:35.065 --> 00:14:45.269
I had to let it go for a couple months because you know, doing things, and then with work and family, but I'm going to pick it up again in a couple of weeks and just keep practicing.

00:14:45.269 --> 00:14:48.606
I don't want to play it out the reason why I'm taking up the bass.

00:14:48.606 --> 00:14:50.937
I want to know the mechanics behind the rhythm section.

00:14:50.937 --> 00:14:55.230
That's important because I admire the rhythm section of any band.

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:57.081
Absolutely.

00:14:57.081 --> 00:15:00.162
We'll close this out with some final thoughts.

00:15:00.162 --> 00:15:07.010
Maybe, if that was something I forgot to talk about, that you would like to touch on, or any final thoughts you have for the listeners, and throw out your website again as well.

00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:18.413
Oh yeah, absolutely what I want to say to everybody out there I love what I do and I love that you all love what I do, and it's very, very important.

00:15:18.413 --> 00:15:22.905
I tell people I'm, I'm not fake.

00:15:22.905 --> 00:15:27.094
I don't act like you know some diva, you know from outer space.

00:15:27.094 --> 00:15:31.423
However you want to look at it, I try to be very, very down to earth.

00:15:31.423 --> 00:15:36.913
Because that's important, because I want you all, if you ever listen to my music, I want you to remember me.

00:15:36.913 --> 00:15:43.101
You know, hey, I heard her talk or I heard her do this or she did that, and that's important.

00:15:43.101 --> 00:15:48.192
And even for those of you who are starting out in music, no matter if you play an instrument you sing, do both.

00:15:48.192 --> 00:15:51.234
That, for those of you who are starting out in music, no matter if you play an instrument you sing, do both.

00:15:51.234 --> 00:15:51.553
That's great.

00:15:51.553 --> 00:15:53.335
Always remember to be true to yourself.

00:15:53.335 --> 00:15:59.738
Always remember I don't care what your religious background is believe in yourself and believe that you can move forward.

00:15:59.937 --> 00:16:02.966
Yes, you're going to face obstacles, of course.

00:16:02.966 --> 00:16:08.485
If there's anybody out there that has never faced obstacles, please let me know.

00:16:08.485 --> 00:16:10.471
I want to know how you bypass all that.

00:16:10.471 --> 00:16:11.493
But you are.

00:16:11.493 --> 00:16:16.350
You're going to face hurdles and unfortunately, that's the normal part of life.

00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:20.168
The trick of it is to make sure you have a plan A, b and C.

00:16:20.168 --> 00:16:23.043
A works Okay, then something might happen.

00:16:23.043 --> 00:16:25.143
And you got plan B Okay, something might happen.

00:16:25.143 --> 00:16:25.765
You got plan C.

00:16:25.765 --> 00:16:36.548
Plan C is for you to go back to A and B and combine them and then you've got what you need to do.

00:16:36.568 --> 00:16:36.990
So stick to yourself.

00:16:36.990 --> 00:16:37.852
Be true to yourself, no matter if you.

00:16:37.852 --> 00:16:41.042
You know you want to write poetry, you want to write books, you know you want to be a scientist.

00:16:41.042 --> 00:16:43.868
Whatever you want to be be true to yourself.

00:16:43.868 --> 00:16:46.333
Stay that way to yourself.

00:16:46.333 --> 00:16:57.264
Don't sell your soul, because it really ain't worth it in the long run, because you know, once you're done, you know you're kind of tossed aside and it's like moving on to the next person or the next best thing in life.

00:16:57.264 --> 00:17:04.252
That's why you can go to my website, missfreddycom, and find out where I'm at, find out what's going on, what I've been doing.

00:17:04.252 --> 00:17:09.450
You know I'm excited about, you know, life period and I know a lot of people are down.

00:17:09.450 --> 00:17:10.721
But you know what.

00:17:10.721 --> 00:17:21.429
You can control how you react to situations and issues, because at the end of the day, when you lay your head down to go to sleep unless you work night term.

00:17:21.429 --> 00:17:25.471
You know it's all about you and it's all about your comfort zone.

00:17:25.471 --> 00:17:31.023
So those are my you know words for people out there and I stand by those.

00:17:31.104 --> 00:17:40.999
Sometimes I might slip a little bit, but then I have to remind myself wait, I'm telling people about you know, such and such a thing I need to follow.

00:17:40.999 --> 00:17:44.182
You know what I'm trying to tell people and it works.

00:17:44.182 --> 00:17:51.951
You know, I've run into people who see me on the street, know that I'm a nerd, but they've come hear me sing and they're like oh, you know you're.

00:17:51.951 --> 00:17:57.041
You know they tell their friends I've been telling my friend to come out and see you and blah, blah, blah and they don't like blues and they don't like this.

00:17:57.041 --> 00:18:00.506
But then when the friends come out, they have a good time and say I'm gonna start following you.

00:18:00.506 --> 00:18:03.269
Think about yourself because you, you know your heart.

00:18:03.269 --> 00:18:15.352
You know if you got a good heart, this is going to slide on out there to other people.

00:18:15.352 --> 00:18:25.653
You know, surround yourself with good people, people that have intention, that are self respecting, and that self-respect will spin off to respecting you.

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:28.761
Absolutely.

00:18:28.761 --> 00:18:30.969
