Freddy Trujillo is a singer/songwriter/bassist who hails from Simi Valley, CA. He grew up in a
highly musical family. Fred Sr. sang and played guitar in various groups, including The
Beethovens, an all-chicano beat combo who gigged all over the southland during the great
garage-rock boom of the mid-1960's. Sister A'me Loraine scored two top ten dance hits in the
early 90's. Freddy himself played with Pat Smear (Nirvana, Germs) and many other local L.A.
acts during the explosion of punk/alternative music that hit L.A. in the '80's/'90's. Freddy soon re-
located to Portland, Oregon and released his acclaimed debut solo record Hawks & Highways,
which dealt with the intertwining of Native American and Chicano experiences in rock & roll
form. He has since been a sought-after player on the ever-burgeoning Portland scene playing
with anyone from Curtis Salgado to Fernando. Besides his own solo band, Freddy has also been
a full time member of The Delines, which is the latest project by novelist Willy Vlautin.
