Courtney Freed is an avid lover timeless music! After spending several years living and performing in Los Angeles and Chicago, Courtney came to her senses and returned to her beautiful hometown of Portland. No stranger to the local theatre scene, her most favorite recent roles were Florence in Chess with Lakewood Theatre Company and Trina (Drammy nom!) in Live on Stage's Falsettos. She has also tread the boards of Portland Center Stage, Pixiedust Productions, Broadway Rose, Profile, Triangle Productions and many more! Courtney is the hostess of the wildly popular local concert series, Portland Sings!, bringing together some of the city's finest vocalists for a magical evening in a variety of musical themes. As a producer and creator, she has helmed countless themed shows, including "I'll Stop the World and Belt with you," a John Hughesical, "The Coco & Ruby Variety Hour" and most recently, a Freddie Mercury tribute show called "Mercury Rising," which premiered in Portland with Live on Stage in April 2018 and continues to delight around the state. A lover of vintage jazz, her first album titled "Happy Little Bluebird" lovingly celebrates the timeless melodies of Harold Arlen. She is the lead singer of the swing band "The Courtney Freed Five," playing the danceable tunes of the 20s-50s. Learn more at www.courtneyfreedmusic.com.
