Gareth Freiheit is a Dublin musician embedded in London’s tight-knit Irish DIY scene, known for a commitment to old-school studio craft and strong live chops. Inspired in equal parts by Phil Lynott's showmanship and Mic Christopher's poetic baritone, he writes road-trip-leaning guitar rock in the lineage of Tom Petty with lyrics about the modern world we live in. He incorporates a strong viual style into his music in the form of self-produced music videos and reels.
Growing up in Munich’s vibrant and eclectic Irish theater enclave in the 90s he was surrounded by actors, outcasts and chancers - all family friends. It was with this community that his parents started the first St. Patrick's Day parade in the city and which he still has strong ties to.
His latest single Things Without You, a song about loss and adulthood, has garnered a strong reception with over 2.5k streams since its release. He’s built a growing following across London, Ireland and Germany and hosts the month Sally Sunday's Session at the independelty Irish-owned Mascara Bar in London.
In the past year he's shared a stage with Kneecap and Brian Eno and has played with established acts such as Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy), Imelda May, Kean Kavanagh, and Niall McNamee.
