Hailing from the small town of Ijamsville, MD, it was his last month of senior year in high school when Freddie experienced his first big taste of success as a performer/songwriter. Writing and recording a piano ballad for his graduation entitled “It’s Only Just Begun,” Freddie and his music were embraced by his community and "It's Only Just Begun" soon earned regular radio play on Key 103.1 FM in Frederick, MD. Then it was off to Lebanon Valley College where Freddie majored in Music Recording Technology and minored in Physics, performing and writing throughout his tenure.
Fresh out of college and looking to continue his music career with a larger live arrangement, Freddie auditioned several musicians, finding some of the most talented players in his area and forming The Freddie Long Band in late August of 2005.
Christopher Bell plays lead guitar and adds vocals for the Freddie Long Band. Chris' extensive experience in the music industry includes credentials too numerous to mention. Born and raised in the heart of New York City, Chris has played with and opened for countless national and international acts.
Randy is one of the original members of The FLB and also performs with alt/jam-rock group 3:AM.
Hailing from Hagerstown, MD, Scott plays saxophone, keyboard and sings for The FLB. Scott previously performed with popular regional act Boogiehawg.
The FLB is proud to have the exciting power and energy of Ricky Slezak behind the drum set. In addition to playing with The FLB, Ricky also tours regularly with Unprovoked Moose Attack and Mark Bryan (Hootie and the Blowfish).
Tyler Sosby brings his extensive talents on the saxophone to the FLB full horn section. Tyler holds degrees from Shenandoah in both Saxophone and Jazz Studies.
