The previous, on-site version of SongFest, originally booked for July 2020, has been rescheduled for July 2021 but, in the meantime, Friedman has gathered most of the SongFest line-up to appear in a 'virtual' SongFest, utilizing the 'livestreaming' platform, Zoom.

Says Friedman, "For all the jokes people make about boring Zoom office meetings, when it comes to music concerts, Zoom actually offers performers and audiences a genuine feel of intimacy and real-time feedback that can't be achieved with any other streaming platform. It really is 'just like being there', plus you don't have to leave your house - you can even watch in your pajamas! I've been doing a Zoom concert once a month since the start of the pandemic and everyone always has a great time. The upcoming 'Virtual' SongFest 'ZoomFest' is going to be an awesome afternoon and evening of song by some of the best singer-songwriters around!"
