Taterbug Concert History

Taterbug is Charles Free, “singin son of the earth,” as well as a “brotherless child” with only loose connections to the Night People label. He sings and manipulates tapes that he’s recorded, and some he’s found, “sometimes scotchtape vocal dubs for that boy choir vibe,” and if you’ve got him live, it’s “a lot more torched.” Taterbugs is an Iowa kid, so it was probably inevitable that he’d eventually run into Shawn Reed and Night People, or as Free puts it, it’s “easy to find a creep in the corn.”...
