Upcoming Events

Breslov Bar Band and Siach Hasadeh @ Branded Saloon
Wednesday, March 5th, 2014
Siach Hasadeh @ 8:30 pm, Breslov Bar Band @ 9:30 pm
Branded Saloon
603 Vanderbilt Avenue (corner Bergen Street), Brooklyn, NY

From melancholy midnight meditations to funky/punky affirmations of the One, the Breslov Bar Band explores musical expressions of the Breslov Chassidim from the traditional to the contemporary.

Featuring:
Binyomin Ginzberg - keys/vox/vibrandoneon
Mike Cohen - reeds/vox
Allen Watsky - electric guitar/vox
Yoshie Fruchter - bass/vox
Aaron Alexander - drums/vox

Siach Hasadeh is a duo composed of bassist and composer Joel Kerr and clarinettist Yoni Kaston. Formed on a Saturday night in the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec, Siach HaSadeh explores and performs off-the-beaten-track Chassidic and spiritual Jewish melodies, primarily from the early sages of the Chassidic movement. The approach to the material is reverential and minimalist, but allows for improvisation and self expression from the voices of the two musicians (and guests), drawing on their diverse musical backgrounds and experience, without losing touch with the original intent.
