Josh “Socalled” Dolgin is a Yiddish rapping, accordion wielding, piano playing, Klezmer hip hop maestro. Heralded by Jewish, Klezmer, and hip hop musicians alike, Josh is known for his love of genre-bending Yiddish music, and explores the shtetls of Eastern Europe and the Yiddish vaudeville stages of 2nd Avenue for inspiration. In this intimate solo performance, Josh will accompany himself on piano and accordion, presenting songs from the Yiddish Theatre tradition, Hasidic melodies, Klezmer, folksong, and some of his own originals. Join us after the concert for a dessert reception.
