08:54 AM - Jared Friedman (and Gabe) on tour NOW!

The fine gentleman pictured above (taken at the Holy Moly show at Sound Fix on February 8th) is none other than Jared Friedman. Let's get with the full disclosure before anything else: he's one of my best friends, and over the past 10 years he's been a bandmate, roommate, business partner, radio show co-host, and many other things that would keep this from being at all objective.

Joining Jared will be Gabriel Miller-Phillips, who I've talked about before (and sent on tour for a digital release with Alina Simone, who you know is playing at Joe's Pub tonight). I'm actually a little behind in posting this, and have already missed the first date that I'm about to tell you about, but I'll include it anyway just to maintain the full scope of their tour Southern tour.

Though they'll be on the road together, the real news here is that it's the debut outing for Jared Friedman, whose solo work is quite different from what you would expect from the shirtless stomping bassist of Man In Gray - even when he's playing songs that get the full-on rock treatment by that (our) band. The songs he's singing are brilliantly composed tales that just might even break your heart. No, I'm not kidding.

If you're in one of the areas they'll be stoping in, please try to check them out. You can even follow their adventures on the (hopefully soon to be updated) Folk 'N' Roll tour blog.
