Previously known as Holm, Freddy Armstrong began playing live and releasing music under his own name in November 2017. Armstrong writes music about friends, family, and loved ones.
Although he often performs alone, when joined on stage, the band is an ensemble of transient musicians that create an encapsulating, emotive experience, with horns, guitars, cello, percussion and vocals.
‘In the simplest form, [Freddy Armstrong] conjures elements of Justin Vernon’s Bon Iver, and shares a similar ethereal, almost ghostly quality, but is by no means a mimesis. There is personal fervour present in […] composition, and the complex balance between delicate, airy descant, and the organic, homely richness, provides an experience that feels simultaneously eerie and familiar. [Armstrong] offers a rustic, likeable honesty, with no forced pretention [which] does not attempt to impress you, but cannot help doing just that.’
