A gig at KSCL, Centenary College radio, and Courtyard Cafe: bard Adam Freedman steps through Shreveport with style

If only more songwriter-performers were as media-savvy as Californian Adam Freedman: he lines up a KSCL radio interview - with live performance - prior to his Mon, July 16, show at Courtyard Cafe. That's the way to speak to people.

Freedman's recorded work at myspace.com/adamfreedman is excellent. He opens with loping guitar and pleasant voice, quite in the mode of the day, but builds his songs with canny keys, drums and voices. To me that says the album he's pushing, Best Laid Plans (Gone Wrong), is going to have legs.

KSCL manager Jon Schleuss will interview Freedman on KSCL at noon, to be repeated at 6 pm, and the guitarist-singer will play Courtyard cafe at 7:30 pm.

On his his myspace you can see the national tour he's pursuing. From his bio I've learned he's also working on a PhD in biology at UCLA.

KSCL's Schleuss is working to establish his station as the place to learn about both the indie news and groove. With cosmic gadflies like Leo Kacenjar and Kevan Smith on the roster, this small station is the most exciting media in town.

Schleuss is really smart and has a good vision for the station. I dig his style.

And thanks for the compliment. I'm not worthy!
