The songs are just great examples of thinking positively, in an environment of trust, empathizing with others and taking a deeply personal and collective musical journey

CREATING MUSIC FOR HEALING

The way I sound on the CD gives me satisfaction
and joy because, although it wasn’t easy to produce this recording, the final product was worth the effort!

Masterful musicianship, tricky solos and fancy vocal work are all the signs of a good klezmer disc, and The Sisters of Sheynville deliver on all accounts.
