Welcome to the website of the Artist Currently Known as PHREDD.
You may also know me as WJTL’s Fred McNaughton, where I have been an on air personality since 1984.
Yes, I am a Singer, Songwriter, Musician Ukulele Player, Radio Station Manager and On Air Personality, but I think of myself first and foremost as a Dad and Husband. Our 8 children range in age from 10 to 28. Two are teachers, one is an accountant, one is a computer drafter and designer, two are in college, one is in middle school and the youngest is in elementary school.
Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a musician. To sing and write songs and play music and make people laugh…
I do concerts for kids of all ages that are adaptable and appropriate for your event. Schools, churches, festivals, indoors, outdoors, big or small.
Here’s what some of my friends say…

P-H-R-E-D-D spells FUN for the whole family!
Parents, you’ll have just as much fun listening, singing & dancing along
with Phredd as your kids. Phredd’s songs are clever, infectious, phuntastic!
The Kids Cookie Break would not be complete without Phredd music!

Having Phredd at our event was wonderful. He’s not just a great entertainer, but He loves the Lord and draws the audience, both children and adults, into worshiping God. We can’t wait to have him again.

Having Phredd at our daughter’s birthday was a wonderfully memorable and exciting event. We were so impressed by the positive message weaved into the fun, silly and family friendly music. Many guests continue to comment on the wonderful time, as well as, the graciousness and kindness of Phredd.

Phredd is a musician who has a heart for God and for kids. He combines these two passions with the talent God has given him to create an atmosphere of fun and worship for kids and their families. His enthusiasm is contagious!

Energizing, positive, and fun! Phredd’s music not only lifts your spirits, but his enthusiasm and energy will make you want to get up and dance. His love for his work and his message is evident each time he takes the stage. Phredd reaches out to his audience – moms, dads, grandparents, kids – and, with the powerful words in his songs, he invites them to sing, dance, and be a part of his family. He is guaranteed to put a smile on your face – I still can’t help but laugh when I think about meeting 42 Monkeys, or saying Zoomalooya!

We had Phredd perform at our small church and it was amazing. Phredd’s songs
capture the child’s imagination and paints pictures of gospel principles that
can are too easily forgotten. That love is a superpower. That you have an
invisible friend you can talk to and He cares for you. Phredd performed a few
children’s songs during the service and also gave the a very touching offering.
We had an afternoon concert that was engaging for the whole family and had the
audience moving the whole time.
-Dan Kulp, Elder, Center Presbyterian Church, Grove City, PA

I recommend a Phredd concert because he has a high energy, hand clapping, face smiling, christian message and song that children and “children at heart” will enjoy being a part of the concert.
-Rhonda Pike, Hopeland UMC

We were thrilled that our attendance increased this year because children heard that Phredd was doing a concert during our event. Daniel, 5 yrs old, came to me after our Phredd Concert jumping up and down saying, “I love dancing to Phredd’s songs!” With this kind of excitement we would invite Phredd back without hesitation to do another concert.
If you are planning an event that includes children think Phredd! He does a great job entertaining them and showing them God’s love as they have fun together.

“Phredd is a must for any school, church or organization! His multi-musical talents amaze any audience as he performs. He kept the children focused and spellbound the entire time. The students learned alot about music and the instruments in a musical way! I loved it as much as the students!”
-Mary S. Lynam Counselor, Donegal School District

It was such a pleasure to have Phredd perform at our end of the year school celebration. Our kids and staff really enjoyed the music, stories and enthusiasm that he brought to the performance. It ranks right up there with one of our best assemblies.
-Randy Garrett Guidance Counselor, Conewago Elementary/ Lower Dauphin

I highly recommend having Phredd come to your event. Our school was completely engaged the whole time, singing, dancing and praising God together. Phredd kept us laughing, but also taught us truths about the Lord. We especially loved his new song about being a superhero. Phredd has a great way of drawing in all ages with his many talents: singing, great lyrics, and instrument playing. Thanks Phredd for a great time!
