Fred Love

Fred Love is a cowpunk singer, songwriter, and guitarist based in Ames, Iowa. Raised in a no-stoplight farm town where the only stages were flatbeds and front porches, Fred cut his teeth on outlaw country, punk rock and the kind of weathered blues that never makes it past the county line. His music blends twang, grit and distortion into a no-frills sound that’s equal parts honky tonk heartache and dive-bar defiance.

With a punk work ethic and a deep reverence for the American songbook, Fred delivers his raw, original material alongside reimagined classics from legends like Merle Haggard and Hank Williams.
