Krekhts, the Bay Area’s Psychoklezmer darlings
Rowan Katz,  a tsimes fun oytsres from the diaspora and beyond!
Bambáshka, longing for a better world, in many languages 
Shotn, the debut performance of a Klezmer-inflected crankie shadow-puppet show
Geulah, another ex-Hasidic himbo hoping that Geulah will swiftly come
and TBD ~mystery burlesque~…

MC’d by the inescapable Auntie Semitism
