Nefesh Summer Update

[ALANEFALK <ALANEFALK...>]

Time to update everyone on our exciting news - 
We are just a couple of weeks away from the release of our debut CD, "NEFESH 
UNPLUCKED", pre-release reviews and comments have been really positive and we 
are looking forward to the actaul release date with anticipation. We have 
already received several requests for air-play on Jewish radio stations 
around the country. The album features 18 tracks with four original 
compositions. The original compositions are 'Franz's Bulgar', an hilarious 
adaptation of Franz Shubert melodies in klezmer style by Ed Goodman, an 
all-Yiddish lullaby 'Ebige Kinderlied {Timeless lullaby} ' and 'Bislechvayz 
(Little by little), by Alan Falk (with a lot help from friends on the 
Yiddish!), and a beautiful composition by Alex's brother, Michael Greenberg, 
composed for the celebration of Alex's son David's Bar Mitzvah, entitled 'Far 
Dovidl (For David}.  
The album reflects a broad and eclectic range of Jewish musical tradition and 
styles which we present in our concert performances - klezmer, yiddish 
theatre, Israeli (ancient and contempory), liturgy, Middle Eastern and even 
Al Jolson manages to creep into the act!
We'll send out another broadcast when we have the actual release day with 
information on how and where to purchase YOUR copy of "NEFESH UNPLUCKED!"
Our other other big news is we were selected to perform at the forthcoming 
NEW HAVEN INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL ON ARTS & IDEAS. This is Connecticut's 
premier arts festival and you can see us perform in concert on Sunday, June 
17th at 5pm, Main Stage (Fleet Stage), On the Green, Downtown New Haven. This 
is a Free Concert.
