Greg Freeman - Burnover
Greg Freeman - Burnover

Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-day resonance in the eccentric ugliness of the past. His songs all have a palpable sense of place thanks to his urgent delivery and evocative lyricism, which mines history for character-driven tales of violence, loss, and epiphany.

Briston Marony - JIMMY

White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
