Avery Friedman

Based in Brooklyn and originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Avery Friedman develops a writing style that sits between indie rock and indie folk, with guitar-centered songs, understated arrangements, and a way of building tension without stepping away from a direct melodic format. Avery Friedman began writing and performing her own songs in 2023, then circulated her first demos through two charity compilations, before releasing the 2024 single 'Flowers Fell', initially self-released and later reissued in 2025 by the London label Audio Antihero. In quick succession came 'Photo Booth' and 'New Thing', which accompany the release of her debut album, New Thing, in 2025. Recorded with James Chrisman, Felix Walworth, Ryan Cox, and Malia DelaCruz, this record lays the groundwork for a sound that is at once intimate and tense, where electric folk, indie rock, and lo-fi sensibility intersect. Avery Friedman is part of a New York independent scene attentive to DIY forms, while also appearing on posters and radio sessions tied to the college rock circuit and Brooklyn venues. In 2025, she also contributed the track 'Underbelly (Demo)' to a Palestine-support compilation.
