Quirky, zany, offb eat, and unpredictable, The Mama Doni Band expands the horizons of tra ditional Jewish music with a contagious and unexpected blend of reggae , rock, disco, Latin, klezmer and “Jewgrass” – all woven togethe r with a hip Jewish sensibility and a zany sense of humor.\n\nGetting into the holiday spirit, Mama Doni & The Mama Doni Band will perform f avorites from their albums, I Love Herring (& Other Fish Shticks for K ids) and I Love Chanukah!, along with previews of latkelicious new son gs from their upcoming release, Chanukah Fever.

And that schtick, she says, is to ‘Jewify all forms of music – from country to reggae to holiday songs.” K ids’ media authority Amy Kraft, of Media Macaroni, enthused, “We w ere all laughing out loud … Listen as Mama Doni spreads around some challah-day spirit in her inimitable cross between Sheryl Crow and Ton e Loc.”\n\nMama Doni, a resident of Montclair, New Jersey, hopes tha t her music will add some Jewish flavor to the lives of people everywh ere. She speaks with great passion about preserving the priceless Yidd ish and Jewish spirit by imbuing it with a contemporary vibe that conn ects to life in our times.\n\nI am giving away two tickets to this sho w.
