Margot Leverett and the Klezmer Mountain Boys @ Abbey Pub

Call it Jewgrass or a Hasidic Hodown, but this Appalachian/Ashkenazic combo is a hit!

Klezmer clarinetist Margot Leverett joins forces with today’s stars of klezmer and bluegrass to explore the shared musical spirit of two genres literally worlds apart. Appalachian and southern fiddle tunes by Bill Monroe meet klezmer melodies from pre-war Russia and Eastern Europe, some newly discovered. The resulting medleys and improvisations are at once raw, funny, melancholic and footstomping.

Hear the music:

• Kentucky Dance Medley
