March 9 Dean Friedman & Vance Gilbert Play Colony Woodstock

Dean’s U.S. concert tour supports his current compilation album, “More Words & Music.” The tour runs from One Day Before Groundhogs Day through April 4 with stops in Los Angeles, Seattle, New Jersey, New York City, Woodstock, Long Island, and Charlottesville, VA.

“More Words & Music” is Friedman’s second compilation album (following the previous “Words & Music”) and contains hand-picked tracks from Friedman’s last eight studio albums, including work from his critically acclaimed albums “American Lullaby,” “12 Songs,” “Submarine Races,” “Squirrels in the Attic,” “The Treehouse Journals,” “Songs for Grownups,” “Rumpled Romeo,” and the classic “’Well, Well,’ Said the Rocking Chair.”  “More Words & Music” is a double CD containing thirty tracks, in all, that confirm Friedman’s status as a master songsmith and one of the finest recording artists working today. Fans can order the physical CD set or stream and download the album at deanfriedman.bandcamp.com/album/more-words-music.
