Editorial Reviews
"evën sh'siyah" is composed of six musicians from Chicago: Elisha Prero on guitar, David Margulis on bass, Ely Cooper on guitar, Mitch Jacoby on guitar, Matt Kanter on drums, and Zev Goldberg on percussion.
"evën sh'siyah" blends original music with lyrics taken form an array of classic Jewish texts. The band's musical influences are eclectic, and include rock, folk, reggae, bluegrass, Mid-Eastern, and jazz. The band has integrated these genres creating a cohesive and unique musical soundscape of its own. They have been playing together for seven years and released their debut CD, "...through your gates, Jerusalem" in 1997. They have performed at Northwestern University, University of Chicago, Loyola University, the Skokie Festival of Cultures, the Greater Chicago Jewish Folk Arts Festival, as well as many other venues.
evën sh'siyah is Hebrew for "foundation stone". According to Jewish tradition, the original element of the Creation was this primordial stone, form which the entire world came into existence.

Incredibly, even better than the first album!.......2000-08-31
Evën Sh'siyah is to my knowledge the ONLY band the writes and plays original Jewish music in the style of American classic rock, with some middle-eastern influences thrown in, and manages to do it all while singing in Hebrew. Although a person might think that the Hebrew lyrics would make it harder to get into the songs, I had the exact opposite experience.
The music is so original and creative and the songs are just so cohesive! Within a few listens you'll find yourself hooked on the songs, playing them over and over again, and you won;t be able to imagine the songs not being in Hebrew.
A truly excellent album that will be enjoyed by anyone that likes classic American rock and/or modern middle-eastern influenced rock.
