He was a member of both the Americana Music Association (Nashville) and the Americana Music Association UK, and his song “The Fire,” which he co-wrote with Ben Glover, was nominated for UK Song Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards.
Freeman’s primary instrument was the guitar, but he also played the drums. He began drumming at the age of 13 and spent eight years with Brighton alt.country rockers Salter Cane. When performing solo, he used electric and acoustic guitars, as well as a kick drum. He also played keyboards, bass, lap steel, and percussion in the studio.

The Jamie Freeman Agreement followed up with 100 Miles From Town, which features guest appearances by Larkin Poe, Brandy Zdan, Richard Smith, and The Good Lovelies, among others. Just You, his first album released under his own name, was described by Gilded Palace as “a perfect blend of UK folk/American roots.” Dreams About Falling, his third album, was produced by Grammy-nominated[11] Neilson Hubbard and received 4-star reviews in Maverick Music Magazine and R’N’R magazine.
