Listen Up!

Watch a video of my first performance with band members other than Miriam since 2000, completely unrehearsed, here. Seriously, I had just met these guys.

I really felt a connection with the artists I met at the JSU open mic jam session for graduating high schoolers this past weekend. Some of them can really rock! Hey, if you don't believe me, would I plug Yaakov Weiner of the a capella group "Listen Up!" here like this?:



You may notice the "Jewmongous" sign behind them. That's because this fantastic group opened for Sean Altman on the night I talked about in this post.

I also met a very talented young musician named Steve Solomon, and Chicago's own Aramaicana (yeah, I made that one up) folksinger, Rabbi Gershon Seif (definitely listen to tracks 5 and 14).

And thanks to Marcy of the JSU for putting on such a great evening! It was a totally cool jam session.

Miriam would be jealous.
