Bio / Background
"Sweet Affection" is the title and lead off track on Tom Freund's 4th album of songs. This one is a half live, half studio set that represents Tom's diversity and musical ingenuity. Half of the proceeds from this CD go to Sweet Relief: A musicians fund , started by Victoria Williams a decade ago, and who guest vocalizes on two of the tracks here, "Gentleman Of The Shade" and the stirring "Cant Cry Hard Enough." The latter is announced by Tom on the CD as a duet that he was going to do with Victoria, however she had taken sick with another relapse of MS just prior to this benefit concert. Much to his surprise, however, The organizer of the show, gets Victoria on the cell phone and places it to the mic just as Tom sits at the piano , and the result is a mysteriously moving "cellular duet" between Freund and Williams. Also featured in the live set is a tantallizing Hedrixy mandolin wah wah solo by Freund on "Francie from his album "Sympatico.

Ben also joined Tom in his set for "Copper Moon." Of the Recently released recording "Copper Moon," MSNBC says, "he made an album that is all at once addictive, stylistically diverse and honest to the core," and LA Weekly: "Copper Moon is set to get him the recognition he deserves." Also 3 songs from the album have been featured in major network TV's "Las Vegas" and "Dawson's Creek." In the mid '90s, after the album with Harper, Tom toured extensively with the indie rock cult faves The Silos. Freund also is a favorite of NPR's "Weekend Edition" and has been championed by Los Angeles' powerful KCRW-FM, where he has performed live on "Morning Becomes Eclectic."
