Welcome to Roadcase!! We are so psyched to have Corey Frye, the main dude of The Main Squeeze, on the show. Corey is the lead vocalist and "tour guide" of this uber-cool and hard-working band which combines all the best elements Funk, Soul and Rock and Roll to take its fans on a unique musical ride. Having grown up in the Heartland of Indianapolis -- he now calls Los Angeles his home -- Corey has a deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed in this business, but more importantly, having surrounded himself with a diverse group of musician friends, has demonstrated that it's really about the VIBE.
