Dean Friedman
Dean Friedman first delighted UK audiences with his chart-topping hit, Lucky Stars. The now classic single, paved the way for a slew of hits off of Friedman's critically acclaimed album, "Well, Well" Said the Rocking Chair", including familiar tracks, Lydia, Rocking Chair, Woman of Mine, McDonald’s Girl and Ariel.
"An amazing Talent!" - Sun, "Outstanding!" - Record Business; "Songsmith extraordinaire!" - Music Week; "Absolutely Fabulous!" – Hot Press; are just a few of the superlatives used to describe Friedman's unique and original talent.
Friedman has since earned a loyal, international following and his music continues to influence a new generation of contemporary artists, inspiring covers and re-workings of his songs by popular groups such as Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds Five and the Blenders. The UK band, Half-Man, Half-Biscuit, even had a hit record with their song, 'The Bastard Son of Dean Friedman'. (A claim Friedman emphatically denies.)
Recently, Friedman has enjoyed a string of internet hits off his album, 'Squirrels in the Attic'. The fan-funded album has been winning numerous online awards and garnering rave reviews. It contains a batch of hilarious new songs covering a myriad of topics including cloning, Monica Lewinsky, the joys of an illicit herb, and the plight of Koala bears affected by global warming.
Friedman will be performing songs from throughout his three-decade career, including familiar, early radio hits and recent fan favorites. Join Friedman for an evening of powerful, poignant and hilarious songs about the ordinary and extraordinary lives we share.
