Shivi is a powerful musician that has been a fore front of the new genre of "hilltop music" that has taken the music scene by storm. His voice magesticaly rises above the guitars and drums on his Ein Od Milvado albums. The songs he composes can be considered moody and slow but seem to have seeped into the consciousness of everyday tefillah amongst religious youth. A humble servant of Hashem and a love for life seems to be his driving message. The music is more of a mantra and soulful prayer and he seems to stay away from any pop music influences. Maybe Shivi has tapped into the wellspring of songs from the times of the Temple, who knows?.

Until Lazer met Reb Shlomo Carlebach, he was not a big fan of Religion or Judiasm. However, Shlomo really loved Lazer’s playing and asked him to come play with him in Israel. After playing with and listening to Shlomo at that first concert which was so powerful and deep musically with such real soul combined with teachings and stories, Lazer immediately realized he had found the missing piece to his Blues. Lazer left everything he had built in NYC and took Shlomo up on his offer. Unfortunately Rav Shlomo never made it, he passed away only a few months after that, but Lazer stayed. Israel was his place. The deepest Blues ever. Lazer was quickly discovered on the music scene in Israel both in the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. He was immediately playing with the major students of Rav Carlebach such as Chaim David and he then joined the famous Jam Band Reva L’sheva and then starting the power trio Yood. Lazer has a Hendrix style and the band just finished it’s first album and is in the middle of it’s first Israeli Tour from Zfat to Beer Sheva. They have been chosen by The Israeli Blues Society to be the Israeli representative at The Memphis Blues Challenge in Memphis.
