Celeste
Friedman has charmed audiences
of all ages as a singer-songwriter, author, pianist, vocalist, radio
personality, and keynote speaker, since the late 1970's. A featured
performer at the famed Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, her songs are
beautifully crafted, witty and cut with vivid imagery. Celeste is a
member of The Society of Children's Book Authors and Illustrators, The
Ohio Artists and Presenters Network and The Children's Music Network.
Other
songwriter/artists who Celeste performs with are guitarist Craig
Goodwin, storyteller Barry Weaver, and multi-instrumentaist Sarah
Goslee Reed. Together with these fine artists, or as a solo
entertainer, Celeste presents creative art and music education in
schools, libraries and community centers throughout the USA.
In addition
to recording her originals for children, Celeste rolled into 2003 on
tour throughout Ohio with her special "O" Is for Ohio progam,
celebrating Ohio's Bicentennial. "O" Is for Ohio will continue to be a
musical education program for all ages and is also available in a
nostalgic format for senior citizens.
