About this event
Dean Friedman first marked his entry into pop consciousness with the Top 20 chart success of his infectious hit single, Ariel, a quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song about a free spirited, pot-smoking, vegetarian girl in a peasant blouse who lived “way on the other side of the Hudson”.
Friedman scored again with the release of his follow up album, ‘ “Well, Well,” Said the Rocking Chair’, and the now classic hit single, ‘Lucky Stars’. This paved the way for a slew of Friedman hits, including familiar radio staples such as ‘Lydia’, ‘Rocking Chair’, ‘McDonald’s Girl’ and ‘Woman of Mine’.
Friedman’s consummate songwriting and performing have earned him a loyal international following, devoted to the sophisticated, funny and profound work of a master songsmith.
“Stunning Musicianship” – Hot Press
“Songsmith Extraordinaire!” – Music Week
“An American Classic” – Tribune
“The Soundtrack of Our Lives” – NY Times
Friedman’s recent run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival garnered similar critical praise:
“With his mix of jaunty ditties, sentimental ballads and bashful charm, Friedman is the pop troubadour of choice.” – The Scotsman.
“Dean Friedman is entirely unique and utterly brilliant” – ThreeWeeks.
Though Friedman’s next single ‘McDonald’s Girl’ was officially banned by the BBC for mentioning the tradename of the fast food restaurant, it has become a viral YouTube video hit, and a staple of high-school and college a capella groups; now, three decades after being banned, the song has just been licensed by the McDonald’s corporation to be featured in a national TV/Radio campaign.
Friedman’s latest CD, ‘American Lullaby’, has been receiving rave reviews from fans and critics, alike. It contains 12 brand new original tracks, lyrical soundscapes and story-songs, bursting with life, love and survival in a surreal world.
