The Casco Bay Tummlers

Friday, Mar 5, 7:00 - 9:00
Blue
650 Congress St.
Portland, ME

No door charge, but your donations are appreciated.

In November, three of us - Carl on flutes and guitar, John on bass and Steve on clarinet and sax - once again had a chance to play with Maine's own master of Middle Eastern percussion, Eric LaPerna. It was so much fun for us (and the audience) we sought out a venue for that lineup to play more regularly. We're pleased to say that Blue, located right in the middle of Portland (650 Congress St.) and one of the Port City's premier spots for all kinds of music, offered us a monthly appearance.

The Klezmatics

Thu, Mar 5, 8pm
The New Parish
1743 San Pablo
Oakland, CA

Tickets: $26 seniors, students, JCCEB members / $30 general—purchase tickets online

Since their emergence more than 25 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.

Part of the 30th Jewish Music Festival
