A composer and guitarist, Friend was recently profiled for an hour on NPR by Michael Feinstein on his program "Song Travels." TWIN, the new CD, features all original music, spanning the rich cultural traditions of the city, traversing the worlds of Blues, Rock, Jazz, and Funk-brought to life by some of the most respected and sought-after musicians in the Crescent City. TWIN, with its lead track "Will You Change My Life?" (dedicated to his sister's memory) documents the pain and exhilaration, the grief and joy of one artist's path through New Orleans to cities across the globe.
