Jewish Music Festival
03/05/2011 to 03/13/2011 in Berkley, CA
The Bay Area's 26th Annual Jewish Music Festival is upon us! If you haven't checked out this festival in the past, now would be the time to dig in. Yemen Blues, the band National Geographic called "...the coolest thing in WOMEX 2011." will be kicking off the festival, which runs from March 5th-13th.
The Festival, while attracting world-class artists, never neglects its own roots, the West Coast wing of the klezmer revival born in Berkeley. This year's events are concentrated in Berkeley's new arts district, with easy access to BART. And in keeping with tradition, the Festival offers a free performance by Bendix-Balgley (March 9; San Francisco Public Library), as well as a Festival-related free Shabbat celebration with members of Yemen Blues (March 4; Temple Beth Sholom, San Leandro).
