"A really good song creates ripples", says the Canadian Michael Friedman. In his songs you feel his awareness for social and political issues, but there are also love songs in his works which often are compared to Bruce Cockburn, Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell or the unforgettable Tim Buckley.
Friedman spent a few years of his schoolgoing youth in EastBerlin where he later also studied at the music academy "Hanns Eisler". Today Michael Friedman still surprises and convinces with his powerfull 3 1/2-octave voice, with his intricate guitar technique and his insightfull lyrics.
