Alex Freeman Popshow

Formed in 2004, this band forged its unique sound working through covers and in the creation of Alex Freeman's original songs in Helsinki rehearsing and recording at all odd hours at the Sibelius Academy. All busy professional musicians, this group runs on the love of their music and the enthusiasm is infectious when they take the stage. Freeman's songs are tailored for the band and you can hear it. Jon-Patrick Kuhlefelt plays bass; Riku Kantola plays pretty much any and everything, giving the band a full and inclusive sound; the Great Lauri Schreck wields uncanny musicianship and a rhythmic core to the group that is like a foundation of granite; and Alex Freeman--a well-established composer of contemporary classical music in Finland and abroad--brings his formidable classical compositional training from The Sibelius Academy and The Juilliard School to his life-long love of pop songs. They record, rehearse, and perform in Finland.
