Pop classics of late 70's and early 80’s through the prism of the New York Jewish Experience
Huddled around an AM radio on the fire escape of a fifth floor walk-up, native New Yorkers Ariel Hammerstein and Yakob Veivelman grew up obsessed with the smooth sounds of the post-disco, pre-new wave era. Devoted to the halcyon days of pop music, it became their life's mission to bring the hits and lesser-known classics of the late '70s and early '80s back to the masses. Their catalog is a virtual A to Z of the Billboard charts from three and half decades past: Ambrosia to Xanadu, all interpreted through the prism of the New York Jewish experience.
The hebrew duo have recently grown to a trio with the addition of Irish Jewish Tenor, Chaim O’Shwartz. As always they will be backed by a group of the NYC’s finest semitic sidemen known as The Full Minyan Band, featuring musicians from Christopher Cross, Suzanne Vega, Joe Jackson, The Waterboys, and Matchbox 20.
The Last Schmaltz is The Jewbadours' annual “farewell performance”, an alternative holiday celebration of pop’s greatest and guiltiest pleasures.
