| About Adam Freedman |
The Bio:
Over the last few years, from time to time I have worked in Cameroon. . .living in mud huts, running around the rainforest catching lizards, getting drunk with village chiefs, arguing with well-armed policemen, eating things best not eaten... As a biologist, I've spent a good bit of time in various small towns and backwaters...catching and tracking bears in the swamps of western Florida, surveying caribou on the North Slope of Alaska. I've had guns waved in my face, lived in trailers, had way too many people ask me if I'd like to come to Bible study, and I've played Lynyrd Skynyrd covers in dive bars in exchange for cheap beer and crawfish.
I moved to Seattle in 2001 where through a combination of unemployment, sleep deprivation, and coffee, I started writing music. Currently, I live in Los Angeles.
Good friend and sound engineering genius Jason Merritt (check out the top 16 below) deserves much credit for enduring the overcaffeinated freakshow I became during marathon writing/recording sessions. Lindsay Monroe (also on the top 16), the CD cover artist/designer, did fantastic work. Check out what else she does at www.lindsaymonroe.com.
The debut CD, best laid plans (gone wrong), is now available at cdbaby, iTunes, Napster, and lots of other online distributors.
