In 1987, Etan and I were expelled from the same Yeshiva high school for being deemed “negative influences” by the principal. I also co-wrote one of the songs on the album. That’s me on the cover of Shlock Rock’s 4th album, released in 1991. Many of my experiences over the past three decades have come together to spark this project. I’ve been entertaining and educating audiences since 1986.

The album’s primary focus will be Chanukah songs, but other Jewish topics will be included as well.įor each song we release, there will be a corresponding lesson plan posted on our web site, available for free download by parents and educators who are seeking creative ways to teach Jewish country fans about our heritage. The songs will use the humor, the storytelling, and the down-home feeling that make Country music unique to teach Jewish kids, teens, and adults about their heritage, and foster in them a sense of Jewish pride. Yidneck Records is preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of a Jewish Country Music album that will include 8-10 tracks plus a bonus duet track, all parodies on contemporary and classic country hits. But I’m also a huge country music fan, and as the song goes, “What a sad state of affairs I’m in, when I search for songs ’bout Chanukah to make me grin… Ain’t no country!”
I love the Jewish parodies on pop songs (especially the ones about Chanukah) that have been popularized by artists like Shlock Rock, the Maccabeats, and others.
