ABOUT

Americana singer-songwriter Roger Street Friedman’s latest album—his fourth overall—Love Hope Trust, sagely and sensitively snapshots moments of modern living. It’s a sonic scrapbook that documents a divided world alongside exploring intimately personal journeys that evince universal truths. The 12-song album is produced by Grammy-winning producer, guitarist, and songwriter Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Judy Collins, Willie Nelson), furthering a multi-album artistic continuum between Roger and Larry. 

Love Hope Trust is a marquee entry in his oeuvre, earning favorable reviews, and plum chart positions. American Songwriter says: “Love Hope Trust offers a snapshot of a world gone awry and the resilience it takes to make one’s way toward promise and prosperity in spite of it all.” Goldmine Magazine gushes: “It’s the culmination of a career that’s seen his reputation elevated to upper strata of today’s most consistent Americana artists.” Additional coverage includes reviews in Glide, The Big Takeover, American Songwriter, Americana Highways, The Aquarian, No Depression, and Relix, among others. Love Hope Trust reached #3 on the Roots Music Report’s “Roots Rock Album Chart.” The title track has been nestled in the Americana Music Association's album chart’s Top 100 for over 8 weeks. Roger also landed a triple 5 on the FAI Folk DJ charts, charting fifth for artist, album, and single of the month for “The Ghosts of Sugarland.” Roger has supported Love Hope Trust with well-attended tours opening for acclaimed Americana duo, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams.
