“Did you see Lisa?”
If you did, you can ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’ that American singer-songwriter, Dean Friedman, is about to embark on a 30-city UK Tour
“Did you see Lisa?”, “Yes, I saw Lisa.”, “Is that why you’re angry?”, “I wasn’t angry”. Those lyrics, from Dean Friedman’s smash hit, ‘Lucky Stars’ are ingrained in the memories of a generation of Baby Boomers, who came of age in the ‘70’s. Friedman, one of the pre-eminent songwriters of his generation, is about to embark on a 30+City UK concert tour that runs from April through August and includes stops in Liverpool, London, Birmingham, Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff, Bath, Sheffield, Rayleigh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and more, including an eight-day run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and winding up at Dean Friedman’s SongFest, a 2-day micro-music-festival, headlined by Chris Difford (Squeeze), and hosted by Friedman, held at the Draycote Hotel in Rugby, featuring some of the UK’s finest singer-songwriters.
Friedman, best known to UK and Ireland audiences for his string of chart hits, Lucky Stars, Lydia, Woman of Mine, McDonald’s Girl and “Well, Well,” Said the Rocking Chair’, will be performing solo, on guitar and keyboard, featuring songs from throughout his four-decade career, including familiar, radio hits and fan favorites, drawn from his nine studio albums.
“Soundtrack of our lives!” – NYTimes; “Songsmith extraordinaire!” – MusicWeek; “Dean Friedman is entirely unique and utterly brilliant” – ThreeWeeks; “Stunning Musicianship!” – Hot Press
In addition to the hits and fan favourites, Friedman will be highlighting songs from his latest, critically acclaimed album, ‘American Lullaby’. The crowdfunded album, considered by dedicated fans as one of his finest, touches on a broad range of topics including: the calamitous pandemic, looming environmental disaster, racism, sexism, our fractured politics, and an intractable culture war.
Invite family and friends and join Friedman for an evening of powerful, poignant, and hilarious songs about the ordinary and extraordinary lives we share.
