Daniel Friedberg, better known by the stage name Freebo, is an American musician, singer-songwriter and producer noted primarily for his fretless electric bass playing with Bonnie Raitt throughout the 1970s. He is also a session musician who has recorded and performed with Ringo Starr, John Mayall, John Hall, Aaron Neville, Dr. John, Willy DeVille, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Maria Muldaur, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Chicky Hines, Diamond David Lee Roth and many others.

His nine-year collaboration with Raitt (1971–1979) began when he attracted Raitt's attention as a member of Philadelphia's Edison Electric Band in the late 1960s. He played several instruments with Raitt, including electric bass, fretless bass, and tuba. Freebo was soon in great demand for studio work and touring.

In recent years, he has recorded five solo albums: The End of the Beginning (2000), Dog People (2002), Before The Separation (2006), Something to Believe (2011), and If Not Now When (2015).
