Export to My Calendar
By day, the members of the rock band Evën Sh'Siyah are normal Orthodox Jews practicing law, seeing dental patients, praying and studying Torah. By night, those same Hebrew words become their lyrics for their complex blend of southern and middle-eastern influenced classic American rock.
Evën Sh'Siyah's original music blends folk, classic rock, Hasidic and Middle-Eastern influences. Their song lyrics may borrow from from ancient Hebrew texts, but their music is firmly rooted in the southern rock of the Allman Brothers and Lynard Skynard with a dash of The Grateful Dead.
Over the last fifteen years the band has has released three CDs but their performances are rare, even in their hometown Chicago. After all, they joke, touring would mess up the carpool schedule. Their wives wouldn't like that... Though sometimes cleverly described as "Gefilte Phish," the band dislikes the moniker and the party image it conveys.
They're nice Jewish guys who like to jam. They don't drink, smoke or play poker. But they do play rock music and play it well. Just not on Shabbes.
7pm doors, 8pm show 21+ show
Tickets: $10 advance / $15 door
