About
Tom Coldwater is a Finnish-American singer-songwriter and producer. Bridging two cultures with a trans-Atlantic musical heritage, his songs combine melodic 90s pop-rock with rootsy Americana and strong lyrical narratives. From childhood summers on Long Island and in New England to a lifetime of travels across the globe, the stories are of love and loss; broken and mended dreams; greener grass on the other side of suburban fences; causes lost under open skies; sins committed, planned or narrowly averted; frank autobiography laced with flat-out fiction; the ever-changing color of the endless sea; a personal hellhound snapping at your heels; and the glorious feeling of the sun in your eyes and the wind through your hair right before you spill your beer on your new blue jeans.
Coldwater is the musical alias of Thomas Freundlich, one of Finland's most awarded short film directors and an internationally acclaimed dance filmmaker. Alongside his screen and performing arts work, he has over 25 years of experience in composing, producing and recording music for short films and stage productions, in styles ranging from Nordic folk tones to ambient electronic opera for leading contemporary opera company Opera Skaala. Tom is also a member of and the songwriter/producer for country pop band That band from Finland.
