Manage episode 371007560 series 3492686
Freddy Allen is a talented musician who got his start in the business as a teenager playing music at restaurants in Missouri.
Growing up in the music scene, Freddy decided to advance his education at Central Methodist University in Missouri, before embarking on big city gigs in New York and Chicago.
Freddy has toured internationally, worked with entertainers like Phyllis Diller and Bea Arthur, and plays regularly in Chicago. Ultimately he has decided to settle down in the Quad Cities with his husband, near family. His decision to plant his roots in the QC allows our residents and visitors to enjoy his professional musical stylings, at places like The Grape Life in Davenport and The Crane and Pelican in LeClaire.
With nearly 40 years in the industry, you'd expect he's found his one true love. But au contraire! Freddy's next chapter is unfolding among the flowers. Floral arranging is something he's certified in and has worked in professionally. This musician has big plans to combine music and flowers, and is already working as a florist in his off time, dubbing himself "Freddy the Flower Guy."
