Jesse Friesen & Green Flamingos Jesse Friesen Wichita, KS Jesse Friesen & Green Flamingos’ sound was forged from the collective, yet varied, influences of Jesse Friesen and “Bobby J” Edwards. They sometimes refer to their style as "acoustified rock and pseudo-electrified folk," yet even that doesn’t cover all the bases. Jesse Friesen has performed at prestigious events like the Symphony in the Flint Hills and the Orpheum Theater’s Christmas Express. He produced a medley and performed it for the induction of the band KANSAS into the Kansas Hall of Fame. Along with the whole band, “Green Flamingos,” they have played multiple years on the main stages of the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield. One year, they were joined on-stage by Italian guitar master, Beppe Gambetta, and two former members of the famed New Grass Revival; John Cowan, currently of the Doobie Brothers, and Pat Flynn. Along with live performances, Green Flamingos were honored to be a part of the award-winning “Home on the Range” movie, appearing in the film and performing on the soundtrack.
