I saw Tom Freund perform a month ago on the Blue Highways festival in Utrecht, The Netherlands. I listened to his latest album Collapsible Plans to get into the mood and was immediately interested.
The performance was fun and diverse. Accompanied by great musicians he delivered a very detailed show and enjoyable from start to finish. The next day I almost visited his show at the Paradiso, Amsterdam. I definitely wanted to see and hear more, but unfortunately I had other obligations.
His music has been compared to Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and many other great singer-songwriters of the last 50 years, but Tom Freund creates a folksy blues-tinged genre all his own. So the comparison gives a hint of what to expect, but expect a personal sound different from his predecessors.
He has been working with Ben Harper and Jackson Browne. You can find several movies on YouTube to get an impression.
