Hudson Freeman Tickets

Born in Waxahachie, TX and raised by missionary parents, Hudson's youth was shaped by an early move to Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), where he spent his adolescence in a landlocked country––and a sense of displacement has stayed within him ever since. After relocating to Springfield, MO for college, Freeman graduated into the chaotic landscape of 2020, eventually making his way to Brooklyn, where his music career began to take flight.

Much like the artists who inspire him like Sufjan Stevens, Pedro the Lion, Weed (pre-Hotline TNT), Hudson Freeman finds himself at a uniquely turbulent coming-of-age moment. His music is shaped by a religious upbringing, grappling with moral absolutism, fleeting friendships, and navigating a search for belonging online.

In spring 2025, Hudson released a new album called 'is a folk artist'. A disarmingly-distinct collection from a digital-age storyteller, it weaves issues of faith, belonging, and anxiety into a modern folk record that feels increasingly more monumental by the minute. In August, he toasted to 10K followers – today that number is nearly 20x larger. He's also on the cover of playlists like Spotify's Folk & Friends, and seeing the most engaged response of his career so far. 

It all started with a mysterious looping riff – one so undeniably charming that even John Mayer had to try his hand at that signature Hudson bend in a post last week. He marked the moment with the studio version of "If You Know Me," alongside an A24-coded music video that leans deep into his cinematic universe. He paired the song's release with a b-side: a slow-burn cover of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses."
