Guitar Nik Freitas is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from visalia, Ca. He met Conor Oberst through one of those chance encounters on one of his many nationwide tours. Their meeting resulted in Oberst releasing Nik’s fourth album “Sun Down” on his Team Love Records imprint and supporting Bright Eyes on the “Cassadaga” tour. The tour provided an opportunity for Conor to vibe out on Freitas’ chops and then it was off to Mexico to make sweet rock. -Johnathan Rice
