Hear this show now:  Pop-up player! | Add or read comments




Drummer Eve Sicular is the leader of two of NYC's finest klezmer outfits, Metropolitan Klezmer and Isle of Klezbos.
She's also the creator of the musical-documentary-theatre extravaganza J. Edgar Klezmer: Songs from My Grandmother's FBI Files.
Tonight Eve will share some of her favorite Yiddish / Jewish recordings - as well as introducing new albums by both of her stellar bands.

Your next chance to see Isle of Klezbos live is Friday, September 25th, 9:30 pm at 54 Below, the Broadway Supper Club at 254 West 54th St.

The next NYC gig by Metropolitan Klezmer is the City Winery Klezmer Brunch, 155 Varick St., in lower Manhattan, Sunday morning November 15th, 11 am to 2 pm.

And you can see J. Edgar Klezmer at the Emelin Theatre in Mamaroneck, NY (Westchester County) on Saturday night December 5th at 8 pm.
