Mad Dogs & The Englishman is a powerhouse tribute to the soulful, gritty, unforgettable music of Joe Cocker, led by Leeds-born vocalist Jason Freddy, whose roots mirror Cocker’s own. Raised just 30 miles from Cocker’s hometown of Sheffield, Jason cut his teeth in the same working men’s clubs and pubs where Cocker once sang, giving his performances an authenticity that can’t be faked.
A lifelong singer, songwriter, and guitarist, with a detour as a radio host in Laguna Beach, Jason brings Cocker’s raw emotion, tone, and phrasing to life with uncanny accuracy. Backed by an all-star 9-piece band of touring and recording veterans, this show delivers the full-force sound of Cocker’s trademark blend of rock, soul, and blues.
