It's neat to see everyone come out of the woodwork for a change.
My name is Steve Singer. I direct a professional vocal group in Chicago,
called LISTEN UP! A CAPPELLA. We have a Beatles to borsht repertoire...
But our "mission" is really to reinvent all kinds of Jewish music for a
diverse spectrum of audiences. Our sound is very "instrumental" and quite
funky. We really enjoy playing with styles -- and flipping
"traditional" songs on their head. i.e. Tum Balalaika as a Brubeck
swing tune, Dodi Li as Country Western, etc... If you close your eyes
during our performances, you'll hear everything from a Jazz combo to a
Klezmer band to Country-Western. We have two recordings, one of
"Chalutzi" favorites and one of music for Shabbos, Chanukah and Purim.
We perform widely for private and public venues in the Midwest, and have
(recently) begun to travel nationally.
