Harvey Brownstone Interviews Dean Friedman, Singer / Songwriter /Author

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Dean Friedman, Singer / Songwriter /Author 

About Harvey's guest: 

Today’s guest, Dean Friedman, is a singer-songwriter who burst onto the music scene in 1977 with his irresistible hit single, “Ariel”.   

Since then he’s had numerous hit singles including “Woman of Mine”, “Lucky Stars”, “Lydia”, “Rocking Chair” and “McDonald’s Girl”.  He’s recorded 19 terrific albums, including “Well, Well, Said the Rocking Chair”, “The Treehouse Journals”, “Submarine Races”, “Squirrels in the Attic”, “Words and Music”, “12 Songs” and one of my personal favourites, “Dean Friedman in Concert: Shepherd’s Bush Empire”.     

His latest album, entitled “American Lullaby”, is a collection of deeply moving and thought-provoking songs reflecting our guest’s personal reflections and philosophies about the current state of America.   His songs fearlessly touch on a broad range of topics, including the pandemic, the environment, racism, sexism, and of course, the calamity surrounding American politics.    

His songs have been covered by bands including The Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds Five, Ariel Pink, The Tone Rangers, and The Blenders.  He's written, performed and produced the theme music to several TV series including Boon, Nick Arcade, and Eerie, Indiana. He also composed, performed and produced the soundtrack to the 1990 cult horror film, “I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle”, in which he performs the popular track, "She Runs on Blood, Not Gasoline".   

And if THAT weren’t enough, this exceptionally multi-talented man wrote a groundbreaking book on synthesizers, as well as a guide to songwriting, and a hilarious book entitled, “A Musician’s Guide to Surviving the Great Recession”.  And he’s even dabbled in the world of video games.
