"...a stripped-down, soulful sound."

- Rolling Stone Country

Freddy & Francine (their actual names are Lee Ferris and Bianca Caruso) arent interested in acting, or genres, or talking or not talking about their relationship. Theyve done all that. Theyve even recently left their longtime home of Los Angeles for Nashville. And theyve never looked more like themselves.

Were performers. Were not just folk musicians who play and sing mellow songs with little voices ... theres screaming, Caruso said. Dont call it Americana either. They dont wear hats. Besides, Caruso says, The minute you think one of our songs is an Americana song, it can turn into a retro pop song. Despite the reaction of most roots music fans to the dreaded P word, Caruso says she doesnt mind Freddy & Francine being labeled a pop band.

Pop music gets a bad rap, but it comes from the word popular. Id love to be popular, she said. I never discriminate against a song because its popular if it stays in your head ... every Beatles song is a pop song.

But mostly, Freddy & Francine sounds like Freddy & Francine. It aint the easiest thing to explain, but it makes sense when you hear it, and finally, it makes sense to the two people who matter most. Im really happy with who I am and I'm happy with the life I have, Ferris said. At the end of the day, or road, authenticity is internal. Watch your step.
