Who was Jamie Freeman?
Jamie was a singer-songwriter whose newest album was hailed as “heart-stopping” by Mojo. R’N’R Magazine described him as “hovering between the narrative talents of Pete Townshend, Ray Davies, and other 60’s luminaries.”
He has experience on both sides of the microphone, having both performed and produced records for other vocalists that have earned great praise from reviewers.
He was the sibling of musician Tim Freeman and actor Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, Sherlock, The Office) (Frazier Chorus). Together with his ex-wife Stevie Smith, he co-founded Union Music Store in Lewes, East Sussex.
He belongs to both the Americana Music Association UK and the Americana Music Association (Nashville). At the UK Americana Awards, his song “The Fire,” which he co-wrote with Ben Glover, was nominated for UK Song Of The Year.
Music career:
Freeman plays the guitar as his main instrument, but he also plays the drums. He began playing the drums at the age of 13 and spent eight years with Brighton alt-country rockers Salter Cane.
When performing alone, he frequently uses an electric and an acoustic guitar as well as a kick drum. He also performs on lap steel, piano, bass, and percussion in the studio.
He was a member of the touring group Frazier Chorus and appeared on their third album, Wide Awake, which was distributed by the Pure label.
His 2019 album Dreams About Falling includes co-writes with Angaleena Presley, Ben Glover, Michael Logen, Brandy Zdan, Amy Speace, and Amy Tudor.
Two songs on Freeman’s second album were written in collaboration with Amy Tudor, a Kentucky poet. Additionally, there are duets with Angaleena Presley,Brandy Zdan and Amy Speace on the album.
Freeman’s Albums:
Freeman’s debut album, Just You, published under his own name, was “a perfect blend of UK folk/American roots.” The Jamie Freeman Agreement published the follow-up 100 Miles From Town, which has guest appearances by various acclaimed musicians including Larkin Poe, Brandy Zdan, Richard Smith, and The Good Lovelies.
Mark Chadwick (The Levellers) worked as a consultant producer on the record. Neilson Hubbard, a Grammy-nominated producer, produced his third album, Dreams About Falling, which garnered 4-star reviews in Maverick Music Magazine and R’N’R magazine.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of the wonderful Jamie Freeman. Jamie was a great supporter of ARC Radio as we were of him. He sadly lost his battle with cancer that he so bravely fought for the past year. ‘Songs I Cannot Write’ was the first time we were introduced to Jamie and we loved his music from that very moment. Please go and stream the hell out of his music. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4PRnr5WQP0arHTdOnRkhn7… Another great artist took from us too soon. Rest in peace Jamie xx

Sarah Freeman posted,
My darling love and best friend passed away peacefully yesterday.
Jamie deserved a longer life, but he could not have lived a fuller one. He spent his final days filled with overwhelming gratitude for all that life and love have given him.
His final words were: I’m so happy.
Nick Percival commented,
So sorry to hear this. Lyn and I loved his music and even had him play a house gig for us. He will be greatly missed.

I know many of my Nashville friends had met my friend Jamie Freeman on his many visits. He attended Planned Parenthood events and was here for our big anniversary party a few years ago. He was sharp as a tack, politically minded, and most importantly, kind. It’s a devastating loss, especially as COVID kept him from coming to Americana Fest and me from going to visit him in London. I’ll miss you, Jameson Mc Free bird. I know Sarah Freeman loved you beyond words and eased your journey and I’m forever grateful to her.
