Freddie Everett
June 26, 1959 – April 2, 2009
Freddie Everett was a Houston blues guitarist/singer-songwriter known throughout those parts as “The Texas Legend.” A guitar virtuoso, some even called him the “Texas Hendrix.” Throughout his relatively short career, Everett has shared the stage with Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, Bo Diddley and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble. He landed a recording contract with Sony Music, but had been diagnosed with MLS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and was never well enough to make the album. Freddie Everett died as a result of the disease on April 2, 2009.
ill miss freddie..he was a true texas guitar legend
I knew Freddy very well,not only was he a superb guitarist,but he was also a superb person.A very down to earth guy who let the music do the talkin’.He was nearly ego-less and very kind.Never(in spite of his massive talent) acted like it.He should have had more fame than he did.I will miss a true musician and friend.Heavens gain.I hope he’s hanging with his hero Hendrix.Thanks for all your kind words,Freddy.We’ll miss ya.
Miss you my friend
