In just under two weeks,Klezmerica will perform a rare public concert in the city of Minneapolis itself. Our Saviour's Lutheran Church has invited us to perform in appreciation of all the volunteers who make the fine vegetarian restaurant St. Martin's Table such a special treat for its many fans and customers.

By April 21, Passover and Easter will be over, and live Jewish music will be great way to celebrate the true arrival of Minnesota spring!

Feel free to join Joe Vass, Carolyn Boulay, Jay Epstein, Dave Jensen, Dale Mendenhall, and Chris Bates in this special Klezmerica concert. Dancing is encouraged but not required (no pressure)!

Thanks and Chag Sameach (Happy Holiday)!

Naftule's Dream is at Ruttman's again this Friday. Again, Andrew Stern will be guest guitarist, with the regular gang. Eric Rosenthal is hot off the road after playing a couple of weeks in Poland with Paul Brody. He heard a student band out in the middle of nowhere, Poland, up near Lithuania, which had transcribed Naftule tunes off the CDs and was playing them on a concert! The Naftule sound has travelled far!

So, here is the dope, you can hear it right here in Boston, or travel to Poland, take your pick:
April 21, 8:00pm-9:30pm, Rutman’s Violin Shop (11 Westland Ave., near Symphony Hall, Boston, call us at 617-522-2900 for info)
Suggested admission donation is $5.

Slavic Soul Party!
Friday, April 21, 2006 @ 9:30pm
Maia - East Village , NYC
98 Avenue B (between E. 6th St. and E. 7th St.)

Fiery Balkan brass, hip-grinding American grooves, and ecstatic anthems both new and old: Slavic Soul Party! is just what it says. Brash and strong as slivovitz, these nine musicians have forged a virtuosic new brass band music in the heart of New York City—melding Gypsy, East European, Mexican, and Asian immigrant backgrounds with American jazz and sou—and “developed a reputation for delivering a great time.” (NY Times)
