**Roger Street Friedman with special guest Ben Bostick live at Eddie's Attic!** Roger Street Friedman is a critically acclaimed artist who has garnered features, album reviews, and video premieres in esteemed outlets such as Relix, American Songwriter, Goldmine Magazine, Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, The Boot, No Depression, Consequence of Sound, American Blues Scene, Americana UK, and Elmore. He is a literate lyricist with an empathic and insightful perspective that reveals the magic in the mundane aspects of everyday living.

Over the past decade, and during the course of four critically acclaimed albums, the modern Americana singer-songwriter has become a prominent voice in addressing issues both societal and personal in ways that recall the leading music lights of the ‘60s and ‘70s. On his new album, Long Shadows, Friedman trains his observant eye on recent and past events, some close to home and others half a world away, and in the tradition of other great storytellers, he focuses on raw emotions – love, anger, dismay, fear, isolation and ultimately, hope – in ways that make his points relatable to any listener.

Roger and his band have opened for Los Lobos and The Blind Boys of Alabama, performed at the Clearwater Folk Festival, Huntington Folk Festival, The Mile of Music Festival in Appleton, Wisconsin, and The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and have toured up and down the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South and Southern California. Roger recently played a number of successful support slots for David Bromberg and his Quintet on a string of dates and recently completed a tour opening for Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams. Ben Bostick’s journey spans from busking on the Santa Monica Pier to carving a singular Americana voice and composing for video games. Raised in South Carolina, he drifted through odd jobs before discovering street performing could sustain him, funding his 2016 EP My Country. His 2017 debut drew praise for its poetic country sensibility, followed by the fiery Hellfire (2018). After relocating to Atlanta, he released Grown Up Love (2020), a deeply personal response to his daughter’s Rett syndrome diagnosis. His latest, Become Other (2025), defies AI mimicry with a symphonic suite, cementing him as a fearless, boundary-breaking artist. Presented by Eddie's Attic. This is an all ages event.
