Blue Fringe
With record-breaking CD sales and numerous sold-out performances, Blue Fringe is quickly establishing itself as America’s favorite Jewish rock band.
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. Written in the vein of popular artists such as Coldplay, Phish, and John Mayer, 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.
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. |
