Interview: Greg Freeman

Greg Freeman

Recently I was able to connect with singer-songwriter, Greg Freeman, to discuss his latest single and video for “Colorado.” The song comes from Freeman’s reissued debut LP I Looked Out and showcases the songwriter’s incredible depth found in his music. Greg Freeman shared, “I wrote this song a few years ago, when the world was entering a scary and uncertain time, and hope seemed fleeting and very far in the distance. The song is about wanting to find connection in such a world. In a way, it feels like an old song to me at this point, but that place of uncertainty feels even more pronounced than when I wrote it. The acoustic version is just more sparse. There’s a harmonica instead of a saxophone. There’s no drums either. Merce does the high part and I do the low part. I also play the concertina in the recording. Our friend Nate Campisi recorded the song at Mr. Smalls studio in Pittsburgh (where we also recorded the video). It used to be an old church.” If you’re enjoying the video, please consider supporting this artist here.
