Shtreiml

Founded in 2002, Montreal/Philly-based Shtreiml offers a high-octane mix of not-so-traditional Eastern-European Jewish and Turkish music. Led by harmonica innovator Jason Rosenblatt, protege of Harmonica master Howard Levy, and one of the few people worldwide who can play the diatonic harmonica (a.k.a. blues harp) chromatically, Shtreiml's blues-rock infused set delivers a new look at some centuries old folk music. Joined by Rachel Lemisch (trombone), Thierry Arsenault (drums), and Adam Stotland (guitar,vocals,bass) the group's set has been labeled "explosive" (Halifax Chronicle Herald) and "exhilarating" (Rootsworld). Frequent guests include Istanbul native Ismail Hakki Fencioglu (oud, vocals) and Yiddish folksong revivalist Abigail Rosenblatt. Shtreiml has performed at festivals and venues in Canada, The U.S. and Europe.
