From melancholy midnight meditations to funky/punky affirmations of the One, the Breslov Bar Band explores musical expressions of the Breslov Chassidim from the traditional to the contemporary... Rock, Middle-Eastern, Punk, Jazz... it's all there!

The group's repertoire includes old dveykus melodies and ecstatic nigunim, as well as contemporary Breslov folk and rock music. The band members combine their passion for Jewish music with their strong roots in rock, jazz, and world music.

Tuesday 5/12 at 9 PM: Yoshie Fruchter's Pitom and Michael Winograd's Infection at Zebulon.

Details:

I and my erstwhile Pitom collaberators are super psyched to be coming back to our fave joint Zebulon this Tuesday evening to play some music from our new record, some new music that is not on the record, and just have fun and make some glorious noise! Joining us will be Michael Winograd's Infection (and his army of swine flu fighters).. a seriously killer band - you will not be let down. It also happens to be the Jewish holiday of Lag Baomer - so come celebrate with us, have a beer, do a dance, shave your beard.

**SHOW INFO
WHERE: Zebulon, 258 Wythe Ave, Williamsburg (L Train to Bedford)
WHEN: Tuesday, May 12th 9pm

Sunday 5/17 at 11AM, Klezmerfest CD Release Party at City Winery

I am pleased and proud to announce the release of Klezmerfest's second CD, "Life of the Party," featuring Jordan Hirsch, Greg Wall, Aaron Alexander, Zev ZIons, and Brian Glassman. We will be performing in celebration on May 17th, with sets starting at 11:00, at:

City Winery
155 Varick Street
New York, NY

There is a $10.00 cover charge.

Check out our first release, "Party Music" at CD Baby: KLEZMERFEST!: Party Music. Ari Davidow of Klezmershack had this to say about it: "this album is simply a delight. Many are the medleys as the band puts traditional tunes in a simkha context. Like I said, the sound is smooth as silk and the feet can't stop moving. For a change, here is a band guilty only of absolute truth in advertising: This is perfect "Party Music". Enjoy!"
