Fred Bredfry spent the better part of the 1990’s performing with the original acoustic duo “Damaged Goods.” Together with singer guitarist Tom Darkside he recorded two albums, “Beyond Repair” and “Roads.” Damaged Goods performed over 500 gigs through out the New York area and played colleges, coffee houses and bars. .It was during this time that Fred developed his unique guitar style and began writing many of the songs that he currently records and performs. Fred’s songs are strongly lyrical with styles and melodies that draw from many aspects of American music. Sometimes folky, sometimes country, and some times blues and rock and roll, they create musical snapshots of life in 21st century America. Often using a third person voice and strong visual images his songs tell the stories of men and women wrestling with relationships, children trying to understand their place in the world, and people just trying to get by.
