Isle of Klezbos

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 coast to coast, and made their European debut as the final feature for Vienna's first KlezMORE festival. 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.

This is the first show together for two astute, amusing, amazing and genre-defying bands. Isle of Klezbos, the fun-loving, soulful powerhouse women's klezmer sextet, joins The Lascivious Biddies, an all female cocktail pop quartet. Both bands are based in NYC, both perform musically tight shows with humor, chops and heart, and both share the talents of bass player Saskia Lane.
