A little self promoting. My partner Benji Rosenzweig and I are producing a show this Sunday at Magnetic Recording Studios in Pontiac. Here's the poop:
Now More than Ever Productions and Why You Jam present an evening of Jewish Music, celebrating Lag B'Omer. Featuring Yosil Rosenzweig and the Kosher Gravy Company. Special music guests Ruby Harris and David Appelman. Kosher Gravy Company is none other than our local favorites the American Gravy Company, featuring members of Jam Sammich, the Electric Magi and Brando and Friends.

This is not a klezmer show. It is more like contemporary Jewish music meeting Led Zeppelin, the Jefferson Airplane and Allman Brothers. There will be plenty of open ended jamming with the unique sound of Joe Stanley on Guitar, Marcus McGlown on Drums, Mark Betz on Bass, Ruby Harris on violin and mandolin; David Appelman on woodwinds.
Yosil Rosenzweig has been playing and writing jewish music for over forty years.
-he wrote, played and was a close friend of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. The most influential Jewish songster since King David.
-2 of Yosil's songs won "chassidic music festival" (Iisraeli equivalent of the grammy's) 1976 Pitchu Li, 1978 Hu Yiftach Libeinu.
-Both songs were recorded and played, by the Diaspora Yeshiva Band.
-Ruby Harris a world renowned fiddle player and original member of the DYB and a VERY hot commodity in the Chicago blues, jazz and bluegrassmusic scene
- Tix are $36 (See below for the "Miko" discount-tickets only 10 dollars) light refreshments will be served , VIP tix are $52 include reserved seating and kosher dinner
- a portion of the proceeds is going to help the Friendship circle.

Greeensky Bluegrass wsg Rootstand. Magic Bag. This is a CD release party for Michigan's premiere bluegrass band. The won the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Music Competition and have been playing there and major music festivals for many years. Rootstand is another heavy hitting band and personal friends of mind. They combine reggae, bluegrass, folk and funkgrass all into the same sound.
Phish 3D movie. This is Phish in 3D from the Festival 8 show they did last Halloween. Its playing at Emagine in Canton and the MJR in Sterling Heights. I have been to the latter to see Avatar and can tell you, the place was built for 3D movies.
Ultraviolet Hippopotamus Savoy. Ok I love the UV Hippos and they are tearing up the midwest jam scene. Kudos to Donny for landing them at the Savoy, the hottest new jam club in the area
Harlem Majestic Cafe This appears to be part of their ongoing Motor City Funk Night. Should be a blast.
