Check out the musical madness Montreal DJ/musician/sound artist SoCalled creates with his band. Come prepared to dance. Boston’s own Klezwoods will open the evening with their own creative take on contemporary klezmer. A wild and crazy time will be had by all.

Klezmer-hip hop maestro Socalled is a musician, producer, composer, arranger, magician, filmmaker, photographer and visual artist based in Montreal. He grew up taking piano lessons and loving funk and hip hop. When Socalled first heard klezmer music on an old Yiddish record, he was fascinated by the cool sounds he could sample to make hip hop beats. Then he realized that integrating this Jewish music from the 1930s into his songs was a way of representing himself and his cultural heritage. It enabled him bring something of his own to funk and hip hop, giving him what he calls "a real reason to make music."

Known for his genre-bending approach, Socalled has performed all over the world and has released three CDs on JDub records which include Yiddish singer Theodore Bikel, lounge pianist Irving Fields, musician and producer Gonzalez, master clarinetist David Krakaeur, country singer Katie Moore, rapper C-Rayz Walz, and funk trombone legend Fred Wesley.
