The previous, on-site version ofĀ SongFest, originally booked for July 2020, has been rescheduled for July 2021 but, in the meantime, Friedman has gathered most of theĀ SongFestĀ line-up to appear in a āvirtualāĀ SongFest, utilizing the ālivestreamingā platform, Zoom.
Says Friedman,Ā āFor all the jokes people make about boring Zoom office meetings, when it comes to music concerts, Zoom actually offers performers and audiences a genuine feel of intimacy and real-time feedback that canāt be achieved with any other streaming platform. It really is ājust like being thereā, plus you donāt have to leave your house ā you can even watch in your pajamas! Iāve been doing a Zoom concert once a month since the start of the pandemic and everyone always has a great time. The upcoming āVirtualāĀ SongFest āZoomFestāĀ is going to be an awesome afternoon and evening of song by some of the best singer-songwriters around!ā
Friedmanās regular UK tour-dates have beenĀ rescheduledĀ forĀ April through toĀ AugustĀ 2021.
