Derrick “Smoker” Freeman is a man with many hats: drummer, songwriter, and leader of the soul-funk Soul Brass Band, the hip-hop Smokers World, the power trio MFG, and the Band of Freeman. He performs with a kaleidoscopic cast of New Orleans musicians ranging from Angelika “Jelly” Joseph and Stanton Moore to Ivan Neville and Amina Scott. No matter the style or the setting, the dynamic performer pulls no punches with tunes like “WhiteSplain.”
