Freddy Faith - Percussion / drums
Freddy Faith mastered percussion as a small lad – getting his first snare drum set at age 7. By the age of 14, he was playing drums at weddings in Chicago and has never stopped performing. Freddy has played percussion in numerous rock and jazz bands, and toured in the road company for the rock musical “Hair.” With Highland Way, Freddy re-connects with his Scottish heritage; his mother’s McCorkle family members arrived from Scotland, fought in the American Civil War, and settled in Indiana, no doubt, bringing their music with them.
