Lucy Freeman

Lucy has contributed to the production of many of the poems here at Litpoetry. Her voice is gorgeous and her ability to 'get inside the mind and heart' of the poems she reads is an astounding skill to have. Lucy is a star!

Lucy began her musical journey as a singer/songwriter and ukulele player in the Spring of 2017. Since then, she has quickly garnered an expansive fan base on social media for her daily song covers, as well as a dedicated following in and around her hometown of Harrisburg, PA.

This songstress is known for her wide range of song choices and her uniquely charismatic approach to them, but is also lauded for the brevity and poise of her original work featured on her debut EP "Carousel".

She frequently collaborates with several area musicians, most notably Phillip Nathaniel Freeman of The Lone Wolf Project and Small Town Titans.

Consultant, Musician & Composer

Don Stewart

Don's 'Unmuzzled Music Productions' Studio believes that music is a powerful way to communicate and often artists and musicians with something to say through their music are not encouraged or helped to do that.

'Unmuzzled Music' is happy to talk to anyone about developing their music but we are particularly interested in working with people who want their music to communicate something positive or reflect something important about the world.
