Variety names Freddie Stevenson as one of it's DON'T MISS shows of SXSW 2008

Earlier this week Variety declared Freddie to be its top must see act of SXSW 2008, ahead of even Dan Lanois and R.E.M., declaring that "potential just oozes from this Scottish folk punk". Extremely kind words indeed - so if you are in Austin, come down and see what they're yelling about.
In the mean time, have a read of the story for yourself at Variety.com
