Special Split Show!!

The Delvers and Bagels and Fraylox

The Delvers

The Delvers have been making music together in various incarnations both casual and professional for more than 25 years. With a song list ranging from Gershwin to the Grateful Dead (and some terrific originals!), they blaze a varied path across the musical landscape. Check them out at www.myspace.com/delvers.

Bagels and Fraylox is a Klezmer band… For those of you who don’t know Klezmer, it is a lively mixture of wedding and party music of 19th century Eastern Europe with strains of Yiddish theater and American dance band music of the early 1900s. But it borrows freely from gypsy tunes, Middle Eastern music and other sources as diverse as American folk music and rock ‘n roll. (Whew!) You just can’t listen to this music without smiling!
