Freakshow’s debut album was a supergroup featuring Miss Crazy’s Ronnie Borchert, Cinderella’s Jeff Lebar, Quiet Riot’s Frankie Banali, & Tony Franklin (The Firm, Paul Rodgers, and Whitesnake). Freakshow founder Ronnie Borchert stormed the rock scene in 2005 as front man for the San Francisco based “Miss Crazy”. He also fronted the melodic rock/glam bands Amsterdam, and Trixie. Ronnies vocals have been likened to Tom Keifer, Joe Elliot, Steve Whitman, & Brian Johnson. Freakshow recorded multiple records with the original lineup who added Cinderella’s Jeff LeBar to the fold. This lineup would carve a place in rock history touring relentlessly supporting three albums 2005-2008. 

Fast forward to 2023. Different players, yet another amazing lineup who created a hook filled, blazing rock ‘n’ roll album “So Shall It Be”.  With this current album, Ronny Bouchert brings together – Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) on guitar/vox. Carlos is a virtuoso in his field, well respected by fans and peers worldwide. – Greg Chaisson (Badlands, Jake E Lee) on bass/vox. Greg has always been a master of his craft. His playing and grooves bring life to every album he plays on. – Stet Howland (WASP, Metal Church) on drums/vox. Stet has been leaving it all on the stage for decades and is hot off the heels of a top 20 record and sold out tour with Metal Church. The current touring Freakshow lineup adds Mr Steve Unger of Metal Church to the fold on bass and backing vocals. The time has come for Freakshow to play live. These boys are hungry and ready to rock!
