About Me
- Name: Fred Gosbee
- Location: Round Pond, Maine, United States
I am a working musician, songwriter and luthier. I have performed with my wife, harper Julia Lane, for over 20 years. We regularly tour the east coast of the U.S. and have frequently been booked to perform in the U.K. My original songs fall into two camps: historical and comical, with a few being both. We frequently perform historically-based programs, our favorite being "Robert Burns - the Man, the Myth & the Music". I perform using 12-string guitar, fiddle, viola, pennywhistle and Irish flute. Over the years I have constructed many musical instruments ranging from low whistles made from PVC water pipe to baroque guitars and harps. We built our own home on the Maine coast, initially with a chain saw. It got easier when we got electricity! Our three grown kids work as (1) a Hollywood assistant director (2) a professional white-water raft guide - currently in Norway (3) a banker.
