Aaron Freeman Frees Himself From Stage Name, Goes Solo
Aaron Freeman Tour 2013
The man who used to call himself Gene Ween and front alternative rock band Ween has finally embraced the name his mother gave him and struck out on his own. Aaron Freeman will embark on a super-brief tour of the US this spring, performing all of five dates spread between April and May. The first of Freeman’s solo shows will see the newly individualized musician visiting the venue Lincoln’s Sports Grill in Oak Ridge, TN, on April 18. He’ll then fly further east for a gig in Massachusetts, followed by a concert in Vermont, another MA performance, and, finally, a show in New York City – Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to be exact – for his grande finale.

It’s been almost one year since Freeman released his first and only album under his given, rather than stage, name, 2012’s Marvelous Clouds. Although he hasn’t announced any plans for a followup, if Freeman does decide to reenter the studio, don’t expect hime to record anything other than unadulterated – and unapologetic – rock. “All that jam band shit makes me want to puke,” Freeman told Now magazine in an interview several years ago, responding to the widely held view that his former group Ween was a jam band, due to the ensemble’s many music festival appearances. “I’m just not that kind of dude.”
See for yourself just what kind of dude Aaron Freeman is – or isn’t – by catching him live at one of his upcoming spring shows. See tickets below!
