Carson Freeman

Growing up in the small town of Espanola, Ontario, five hours north of Toronto, Carson Freeman’s formative musical introduction came when a high school band visited his public school. Enthralled by the sound of the tenor saxophone, it wasn’t long before he found a group of like-minded students and formed a jazz combo. From there, he’s developed a style that’s accessible, adaptive, and highly inspired, which has led to him performing on stages across the world with celebrated Canadian and international artists. A father of three young kids, when Freeman’s not playing, he enjoys cooking and learning to play new instruments including oboe, trombone, guitar, and piano.

“Performing for TIFF events, and flying around the country performing for Air Canada are tied for my favourite BELLOSOUND events.”
