Welcome to our website!

We're an eight-piece Klezmer band from the San Francisco bay area. Our repertoire encompasses Eastern European dances, Yiddish theater tunes, and traditional Israeli folk songs.

The sound is full and rich: a melodic ensemble of clarinet, violin, flute/piccolo, and accordion – backed by a solid rhythm section of guitar, keyboard, bass/cello, and drums. And our vocalist packs quite a punch! Together, we create a joyous and heartfelt sound that echoes the Old World, while still making today's audiences get up and dance.

In true Silicon Valley fashion, we use a small garage for our "headquarters", and when we rehearse on Sundays, the neighbors sometimes stop to listen! We've played at weddings, synagogues, and backyard parties. We'd be delighted to bring our music to your event.
