BORN OF A COMMON DESIRE TO “KEEP NASHVILLE FREAKY”
Carey Ott and Frankie Hill of FON bring a concept and drive to amplify the voices on the fringe of the Nashville music scene, creating tracks with visionary artists across the Nashville musical spectrum.
new single out 2/16
Carey’s “World Gone Crazy” debuts the new format from Freaks of Nashville, featuring an Armageddonish ear worm hook, a Frankie sax solo second verse, and the song reprise as a stream of consciousness spoken word essay.
the history
In 2018, the Freaks of Nashville collective rose from a group of working Nashville musicians inspired by the groove and political fire of live afrobeat. Combined with Carey’s thoughtful lyrics
and melodies, they secured a residency at the 5 Spot in East Nashville with DJ Jane Dupree, featuring drop-in guest singers, storytellers, and rappers. 2020 killed off the live band, but the vision lived on.
