Michael Freer w/ Christopher Pond - $6

Friday, October 7, 2011

W. Michael Freer is a national touring acoustic bluesman using \'blues uke\', harmonica and rich baritone vocals to draw us into his music as we become \'one\' with his blues.

Christopher\'s music is modern folk with indie, experimental, and pop-rock undertones. His lyrics come from a place of introspection mostly, as well as angst, intrigue, sarcasm, frustration, love, infatuation, etc.

He started playing drums around age 12, then guitar at 15, piano soon after that, and now on to banjo and ukulele. He got an analog four-track recorder when he was 17 which changed his life forever. He has been writing songs, playing in bands, and recording albums ever since.

Pond was voted a -New and Notable- artist on indie-music.com and was nominated for the annual Top 25 list in 2010 and again in 2011. \"Angels out of Dust\" and \"Buried Alive\" (from \"Color Scheme\" 2009) both ranked on the Top 30 chart on indie-music.com by IAIRA in 2010. He currently finished a new record called The Book of Laments which was released July 2nd, 2011.
