Captivating
large Jewish audiences of all denominations throughout the U.S. and
abroad, Blue Fringe has successfully mixed pop, rock, funk and R&B
with Jewish themes that are particularly relevant today.
The
emotionally charged songs on Blue Fringe’s breakout first album, My
Awakening, include original English and Hebrew compositions that run
the gamut from soul searching to irreverent. Blue Fringe
sets a new standard for popular Jewish music.
The
band, comprised of four 20-something friends who met at Yeshiva
University, includes: Dov Rosenblatt, guitarist and songwriter, who
supplies the band with his compelling, lyrical voice; Avi Hoffman, also
a guitarist and composer for the band, known for his electrifying,
bluesy guitar playing; drummer Danny Zwillenberg who incorporates
rhythms from diverse musical sources, including Latin, reggae, funk,
and rock; and Hayyim Danzig on the bass, both electric and upright, who
gives the group its soul with bass-lines deeply rooted in old-school
funk and jazz.
Blue Fringe prides
itself on being
a "live band". Their energy on stage is infectious, as the crowd
inevitably leaves their seats in venues from 200 seats to 1100 seats,
the band has captivated audiences of all types.
Based in New York City,
Blue Fringe performs regularly on the East coast, including major NY
clubs such as Irving Plaza, BB King’s Blues Club and Makor.
Internationally, Blue Fringe has toured South Africa, Australia, and
the UK. The band has performed several concerts in Israel including a
“Rock n’ Soul Festival” in Beit Shemesh that hosted 10,000 fans.
