SongFest, in its 5th year, was conceived by Friedman and friends as an indoor, boutique music festival, providing an appreciative, listening audience with an intimate, concert experience, focusing on excellent songs and their creators. (a mudless music-fest – no bumbershoots required!)
The Artist Lineup for SongFest 2024 includes some of the finest singer-songwriters working today, including luminaries Matt Black (Bright Eyes, Nine Million Bicycles, Wombles) and Ian Shaw (2x BBC Jazz Awards winner), plus outstanding singer-songwriters: Boothby Graffoe, Tracey Curtis, Lach, Charlotte Campbell, Rainbow Frog Biscuit, Daniel Cainer, Vance Gilbert, Nia Nicholls, Barbara, Colm Gavin and joined by SongFest founder, Dean Friedman.
Friedman, the songwriter/recording-artist behind chart-topping classics like, Lucky Stars, Lydia, Ariel and “Well, Well,” Said the Rocking Chair’, says, “Each one of these songwriters is uniquely talented and fiercely original, and I’m truly thrilled and honored that they’ve agreed to join me to be part of SongFest.”
Dean Friedman’s ‘SongFest’ will take place on Saturday & Sunday, 17th & 18th August, 2024 at Draycote Hotel, Rugby.
Info and tickets to SongFest can be found at www.SongFest.live.
SongFest performances run from 3:00pm to 11:00pm on Saturday & Sunday. Saturday night’s performances will be followed by an audience sing-along of Beatles tunes and more. A ninety minute Songwriting Masterclass conducted by Dean Friedman begins at 1:00pm, immediately preceding each day’s performances.
