Nick Freed
Nick is originally from Missouri, a statement he is proud to make. After graduating from the prestigious Truman State University in 2007, Nick moved to Rhode Island for 8 months where he worked as a time traveling tour guide. After leaving the east, Nick made the sudden and rash decision to move to Chicago in the spring of 2008. Since then he's been working as an actor around the city, and is the Associate Artistic Director of Chicago dell'Arte. He's working on finding the time to get his MFA in Creative Writing "eventually."
He has wanted to write about music since high school, and is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to do so for Consequence of Sound. Finally an avenue for him to spout his opinion that not just his friends read!
Favorite artists: Sunset Rubdown, Radiohead, Wolf Parade, They Might be Giants, Electric Six, Jay-Z, P.O.S., Cursive, The Good Life, Andrew Jackson Jihad, The Faint, Meatloaf, The Mountain Goats, Tom Waits, The Weakerthans, The White Stripes
