Greg Freeman today has announced a Fall 2025 tour supporting Grandaddy, including dates at New York’s Brooklyn Steel (10/15) and Chicago’s Thalia Hall (10/9) in support of his upcoming LP Burnover, out 8/22 via Transgressive/Canvasback Records. The announcement follows the release of lead single “Point and Shoot,” which has earned support from Stereogum, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, and Consequence. Freeman has also announced a new show at NYC’s Knockdown Center with This Is Lorelei, in addition to new merch, which is now available for pre-order.
Following the re-release of his critically acclaimed debut album I Looked Out on Transgressive Records and sold out London headline shows earlier this year, Greg will also be hitting the road in May for a string of U.S. shows with Hamilton Leithauser. Right after wrapping up his run with Hamilton, Greg is jetting across the pond and kicking off a EU/UK run, including festival appearances at The Great Escape & Dot to Dot Festival.
When Greg Freeman quietly released his debut LP I Looked Out in 2022, it had no PR campaign, label, or music industry promo, but still garnered praise from notable critics, with Steven Hyden of UPROXX calling it “my favorite album of 2022 that I discovered in 2023,” and Paste Magazine naming it among the 25 Best Debut Albums of the 2020s. The word-of-mouth success of that release had Freeman on a relentless tour schedule.
Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-day resonance in the eccentric ugliness of the past. On his sophomore LP, the Maryland-born, Burlington, Vermont-based artist uses the complicated backdrop of the Northeast to sing of grief, alienation, and the clarity that comes from opening up yourself to love. Explosive, unsettling, and undeniable, the 10 tracks here meld energetic indie rock with an ambling twang. It’s Freeman’s most adventurous and personal yet, cementing him as a singular songwriting talent.
