Freeman Dre likes to spin a tale. An extraordinary lyricist - voted best songwriter in NOW magazine’s 2010 reader’s poll - his musical narratives are “full of vivid wordplay and rhapsodic rhyme schemes that immediately command attention”
- AmericanaUK

Backed by a killer band, The Kitchen Party can be anything from “sensitive folk rock with a European flair” to “highly entertaining folk punk”
-Exclaim magazine

Old Town', a self- produced 10-song effort follows a loose conceptual arc; an immigration story, inspired by his own family history, chalk full of adventures that will leave you reminiscing for the old country and challenging the new. released 19 July 2012
