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.
