Artist/Songwriter Andy Friedman used to simply recite lyrics to hypothetical
songs, but now he's gotten around to writing rootsy tunes, which he delivers
in a pointedly everyguy voice. He's usually accompanied not only by his band,
but also projections of his stark pencil drawings, some of which have appeared
in The New Yorker. Friedman celebrates the release of a new CD, Live at the
Bowery Poetry Club.
