Concert Season
Justin Friesen
Tapestry Toronto
It was a joy to play my concert in Toronto with so many of my friends coming out! I really appreciate your support!
An Evening Of Connection
The biggest compliment that I got (on that evening, but maybe ever) was that I connect with the audience. Of course, it is my goal to touch people with my music. I hope that they can relate to the struggle, the pain, the love, the joy, the hope that I address in my songs. I have heard from individual people that they did, but it was new to me that there was an atmosphere of connection that enveloped the whole room. I am very grateful for this experience and feedback. I had been especially nervous about making mistakes because I didn't practice as much as I usually do in the days leading up to the concert due to a canoe trip. It reminds me that the mistakes don't matter so much. It reminds me to prioritise presence over perfection.
Thanks to Tapestry for having me and to Rueshi for opening!
If you like my music, please consider coming to a concert. I really appreciate your support!
Cozy Café Vibes
I had a great time playing at Café Clementina in Waterloo on May 30. For the first time, I accomapnied myself on four different instruments: piano, guitar, ukulele, and mandolin. Many thanks to the team of Café Clementina for this opportunity and to everyone who came to listen!
August: Canada and Germany
This marks the start of the concert season for me. My next concert is at Tapestry, Toronto on August 4. It will be my last concert in Canada for now. One week later, I will be flying back to Germany. Back home, I have two public concerts lined up: Bootshafensommer in Kiel on July 15 and Palette54 in Kappeln on July 17.

New Music
As a small artist, it would help me immensely if you could stream the song on your favourite listening platform. Thank you for your support!
“In Between” Out Now!
Starting out as a heartbreak ballad with piano and vocals, my production process turned this song into a head-bopping, toe-tapping empowerment anthem!
Unlike other breakup songs, “In Between” doesn't harbour bad feelings. It is an outlet for hurt, while acknowledging the self-responsibility for entering and staying in a relationship. Leaving was hard, but it was the only way to preserve my happiness. I found confidence that I could build myself up again. Another important theme of the song is concern for the other person to do the same.
I will pick myself up in time
I hope that you can do the same
