Greetings Klezmer Fans! Are you ready for another exciting episode of KlezFactor?

News

Wednesday, April 16, 2008: Klezmachine is finished! We'll be releasing digitally for our May 19th show at The Rex. See below for more information about that. We're also pleased to welcome Jennifer Burford back to the band for our show at The Rex. Jenn is looking forward to rocking out on her violin once again! Unfortunately, Ben Plotnick will be in Calgary. It's hard not to get too angry at him . . . he's such a dreamboat!

Monday, February 18, 2008: The recording is going great! We had fun getting out to Acrobat Music in Pickering through the snow storm, but once there, we got the foundation tracks down! We're going back next month to keep working on the album. See below the announcement of our show at The Rex in May!
