On January 29-30 1999, Screamin' Freeman World Record Band did just that. They set the World Record for the longest concert performed by a group by playing for 24 hours straight. This feat was performed at the historical Lyric Theatre in down town Harrison, Ar. The band was featured in the local newpaper and received several letters of praise for their feat. The World Record has since been broken, but the accomplishment continues to be a staple for for the group known as "World Record Band".

Lead guitarist, lead vocalist, harp player, songwriter, arranger, smooser, original in every sense of the word. Freeman is the unspoken leader of the band. "The energy of the three piece band and the adrenaline rush from playing non-stop is why I do it". Freeman fingers a '54 Custom Les Paul (among many others) and Marshall amps in addition to equipment ranging from classic antiques to state of the art. Screamin' Freeman endorses Hohner Harmonica.
Drummer, technician, sound engineer, instructor, and just an all around good guy. John is the heartbeat of the band. A "metronome" is what Freeman calls him. John's steady beat and the tightness of the band are what makes it electric. John plays Sonor drums and Zildjian cymbals.
"The artist known as Paul" is how Freeman refers to Paul Woolston on bass. Musician, artist, collector. Paul slaps a fretless Fender Precision bass and prefers the sound of Fender amps.
About the band
The original music is what's best about this band.
Non-stop fun!, Non-stop rock! and Non-stop Screamin' excitement! That's what best describes "Screamin' Freeman and the World Record Band". The spontaneity and high energy of this three piece rock act is what has earned them a growing base of loyal fans known as Freemanites.
The band is steadily performing 4-5 hours of non-stop and no-repeat performances. They perform around beautiful Harrison Arkansas & Branson Missouri. They have opened up for Black Oak Arkansas and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Classic rock and blues are the music they prefer.
