Doylestown Concert Series Continues With Matt Freedman And The Herd

DOYLESTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Thompson Performing Arts Series in Doylestown Township continues on Wednesday evening, June 28 with a free performance by "Country's Most Uplifting Band" Matt Freedman and the Herd.

The free summer concert series is filling the park with music every Wednesday evening through August 30 at the C&N Amphitheater at Central Park. Concerts begin at 7 p.m. and are presented by the Doylestown Township Parks and Recreation Department.

After performing with country acts like Miranda Lambert, Brett Young, Brantley Gilbert, Maddie & Tae, and others, Matt Freedman and his band The Herd are poised to have a breakout year in 2023.

A singer and songwriter with a 15-year history of writing and selling out shows, Freedman was born in Pennsylvania and was a teenager when he began writing songs. His blend of storytelling, nostalgia, and anthem hooks makes Matt a unique artist as well as songwriter in the pop/country and Americana genres. He taught himself to play guitar, drums, and bass as a young teenager, and started his first band at 12 years old with middle school friends.
