Isle of Klezbos
Active since:
Isle of Klezbos first emerged as an organic offshoot of New York's Metropolitan Klezmer. Formed in 1998, the frolicsome six-piece women's band soon became an acclaimed, dancing-in-the-aisles hit at a wide variety of venues from Vienna to Vancouver, and sold-out shows in 2024-25 including Joe's Pub NYC, City Winery (both NYC & Boston!), and Wellfleet Preservation Hall. A versatile, neo-traditional ensemble, the group plays imaginative versions of eclectic Eastern European-rooted Jewish folk music, Yiddish swing and tango, plus an ever-expanding repertoire of vibrant originals.
The band's latest album, "Yiddish Silver Screen," was released in December 2023 and immediately hit ASCAP's holiday playlists. Special projects have included backing Jill Sobule's "Music from Yentl" at Lincoln Center & beyond, and the band will be dedicating two upcoming shows to our beloved memories of Jill, featuring two of our favorite songs this very special but lesser-known original "Yentl" repertoire that we were so fortunate to perform with her.
Isle of Klezbos has enjoyed appearances on HBO's "Just Like That," Showtime's "The L Word" & CBS "Sunday Morning," as well as recording sessions for platinum Grammy-nominee Scissor Sisters. Recent live appearances highlights include sextet concerts at NYC's Museum of Jewish Heritage and Long Island's Heckscher Park Rainbow Stage, as well as featured appearances at MoMA/PS1 for Gregg Bordowitz's extravaganza three-show run.
