Produced by Friedman and Grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell (a longtime collaborator of Levon Helm), \u201cCome What May\u201d was mixed by Friedman and engineered by Fader Istheman. The video for the song was shot and edited by Friedman himself, as part of a pandemic undertaking to learn more about video creation and production.<\/p>\n Says Friedman about the song: \u201cIt\u2019s a song about commitment. About having the\u00a0epiphany\u00a0that staying in a relationship \u2013 even when it\u2019s hard, especially when it\u2019s hard, actually \u2013 is what brings you closer together and makes the love even stronger. The song uses the road as a metaphor for traveling back to each other emotionally, \u2018come hell or come what may.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Fans eager to see Friedman live can do so via livestream from his studio on March 9th at 8:30 p.m. eastern when he celebrates the release of \u201cCome What May\u201d with a performance on\u00a0Americana Highways<\/em>\u2019 Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0as part of their \u201cLive Music from the Quarantine\u201d series.<\/p>\n \u201cCome What May\u201d is the follow-up to Friedman’s fall 2020 single releases, \u201cCarry Me (Acoustic) feat.
