Rupa & the April Fishes blend an alternative pop attitude with international spices, mixing in elements of Gypsy swing, Colombian cumbia, French chanson and Indian ragas. The band hold up a carnival mirror to life and present a warped, humorous and occasionally disquieting reflection. Sequestered beneath Rupa’s infectious and captivating melodies are thought-provoking themes that address life, love, art, death and the real and artificial divisions that keep us apart. The San Francisco- based musical agitators are specialists in crossing borders and building bridges and with this new album they effortlessly blur the boundaries of genre and geography to create a sound Time Out has called "global agit-pop".

Raised in South Jersey and refined in the Middle East, Ami Yares brings his own style of earthy and grounded original music to Philadelphia. Well-crafted songwriting, tight arrangements, and a deep respect for American country, folk, bluegrass, and rock and roll create a musical throw-down that imbues listeners with a sense of something familiar, but completely new at the same time.
This homecoming performance will feature a few members of Ami's Jaffa, Israel-based band, HOLLER! (Jason Reich, Tamar Schoppik, and Eliran Kononowicz). HOLLER! and its various incarnations are a time-tested favorite of the underground folk scene of Israel and cook up some seriously energetic performances. The band has been celebrating the release of its debut album which showcases the bands musicianship and Amis songwriting.
For the last four years, HOLLER! and Ami have been throwing foot stompin' soirees all over the Israel and it's high time that Philadelphia take part in the experience.

Jef Lee Johnson is a true American original and a true American gift to the musical world. Jef Lee has played since he was a young boy growing up and playing up in the church his grandfather built in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA. He plays everything- including guitar, bass, keyboards, sax, drums and drum machines, and is a potent vocalist of broad and powerful range as well. But it's on guitar that he burns most incandescent, conjuring jawdroppingly brilliant, careening stylistic collisions of legato-laden fusion, angular outness, and state-of-the-art acid-funk. Jef's concept, while wholly and truly original, justly deserves mention alongside such profound, formidable masters as Hendrix and Holdsworth. Jef has a highly expert foot in many camps, contributing to the point of collaboration with such heavyweights as James Carter, Rachelle Ferrell and George Duke, and touring and recording with Erkyah Badu and D'Angelo. – allaboutjazz.com

Oran Etkin’s Timbalooloo, is the new home for all of Etkin’s work for children, including the music classes, CDs such as Wake Up Clarinet!, concerts, books, dvds and television programming. The name Timbalooloo comes form a 3 year-old student from Etkin’s music classes, who went home and sat his mother and baby brother down for a 20 minute music class in which he pretended to be Oran and demonstrated to his “pupils” an imaginary instrument he called the Timbalooloo. The story captures the essence of Etkin's mission: to excite children about the wonders of music and musical instruments and encourage their creative freedom and personal ingenuity.
