As this year's "Artist-in-Residence" at the Washington Jewish Music Festival, I'll be a featured performer in this concert!

Award-winning musician Daryl Davis and his band present a special evening of story and song celebrating the Jewish songwriters and producers behind the scenes of the first decade of Rock’n’Roll. While none of the marquee names of the first decade of Rock’n’Roll were Jewish, many of the key figures behind the scenes were. Songwriters like Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Doc Pomus, Carole King, and Neil Sedaka. Producers like Leonard and Phil Chess, Jerry Wexler, and Phil Spector. And legendary DJs and promoters like Alan Freed. Daryl and his cadre of guest vocalists and instrumentalists will bring their stories to life through the music of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and more.
