          THE KLEZMATICS • July 16th
          The Klezmatics are world-renowned and Grammy-winning superstars of the Klezmer world. They erupted out of New York City’s East Village in 1986 and since their emergence more than 30 years ago, the Klezmatics have raised the bar for Eastern European Jewish music, made aesthetically, politically and musically interesting recordings, inspired future generations, created a large body of work that is enduring, and helped to change the face of contemporary Yiddish culture. Often called a “Jewish roots band,” the Klezmatics have led a popular revival of this ages-old, nearly forgotten art form. The Klezmatics have performed in more than 20 countries and released 11 albums to date.  On their Grammy-winning 2006 album Wonder Wheel, the Klezmatics set a dozen previously unsung Woody Guthrie lyrics to music, widening their stylistic base by largely diverging from klezmer. They have also recently served as the subject of a feature-length documentary film, The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground. During their third-of-a-century existence the Klezmatics have collaborated with such brilliant artists as violinist Itzhak Perlman, Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner and Israeli vocal icon Chava Alberstein, plus many other prominent artists working within multiple genres.

          Time Out New York raves: “The Klezmatics aren’t just the best band in the klezmer vanguard; on a good night, the can rank among the greatest bands on the planet”.

          JOE CROOKSTON • July 9th

          Joe Crookston is a force of nature on stage. He is in his power, communing with his audience and welcoming them into the magic. From touring with Gordon Lightfoot, headlining major US festivals, receiving Folk Alliance International “Album of the Year,” releasing NINE BECOMES ONE (2023) to being named Folk Alliance International Artist-in- Resident, Joe is on fire. He’s played with Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, David Francey, John McCutcheon, John Gorka, Judy Collins and 100’s more. His rhythm is infectious. In concert, he is funny one moment and transcendent the next. “The Long Note” is a phrase in Irish culture…it’s that place of resonance and transcendence where the music, the voices, the instruments, and the community converge and unite. There is a long note and Joe is reaching for it. Whether he’s weaving through lap slide songs or fiddling an American Southern tune, he draws you in. Videos hardly do him justice, you’ve got to see him live to experience it. Joe lives in Ithaca NY, and tours regularly in the US, Ireland and Canada
