Jon and Deena began performing in the streets in Paris and Rome in the early 80s. They started The Cucumbers and found a home in the indie pop scene in Hoboken, NJ. Their songwriting has been called "direct and artful," by The New York Times, Deena's voice "...incredible: kidstuff and wisdom merged," by the Village Voice. Their songs have been recorded by Jackson Browne, Dar Williams, Marshall Crenshaw and featured in films and on TV.
Their latest release is “Hello George,” a novella, and “As You Heard Me,” its accompanying soundtrack - a book with music/music with a book. “Hello, George,” by Jon Fried, is the tale of an aspiring young music publisher in search of a reclusive songwriter. Full of fun, love, humor and the frustrations of life in and around the music business (circa 1990s and beyond), the story leads us on a search for what’s real, what’s imagined and most importantly, what we hear and how we are heard.
“Hello George” is published as a chapbook/e-book with accompanying music “As You Heard Me,” – the actual song demos referred to in the novella, plus bonus tracks.
