Tom Freund Releases New Song with Ben Harper
By: BWW News Desk Aug. 09, 2017
Tom Freund has released his new single, "Let My Love Open the Door," featuring Ben Harper. Listen to the new song below!
Over the course of his career, Tom Freund has created a wide variety of albums. His first was a collaboration with Ben Harper and his last was a double disc live album. In between, he's made full-lengths, EPs, a children's CD and a Christmas album.
It's the ease with which he delivers conversational lyrics and honeyed melodies, a natural magic that is the soul of Tom Freund's music. Though he's widely-traveled in a variety of genres- from hearftelt folk to buoyant pop to boho jazz to straightforward rock 'n' roll, and beyond -Freund is, simply put, a singer-songwriter with a defined and captivating presence.
Freund spent the mid-'90s touring with the indie rock cult faves THE SILOS and has been releasing solo albums since 1998. Tom has alternated between recording and touring behind his own discs, playing upright bass, electric bass guitar, and mandolin with the likes of British pub-rock great Graham Parker (who hailed Freund as one of the best singer-songwriters operating today), pop star Mandy Moore, groove-soul sensation Brett Dennen, Rock 'n Roll Hall of Famer Jackson Browne, and three-time Grammy winner Ben Harper. "What really brought me to wanting to work with Tom in the studio is his songs," Harper concludes. "It doesn't have to even go any further than that. As far as I'm concerned, who wouldn't wanna work with him in the studio? Because the songs are there."
More recently, you can spot Freund playing with Parker in the Judd Apatow film, "This Is 40" and featured on the hit TV shows "Parenthood", "American Gothic" and the recently premiered Pamela Adlon show "Better Things". He continues to tour North America, Europe and Japan playing with his band or doing solo shows.
