The Mike
Eisenstadt Band is a well loved mainstay in Florida, and has begun to
garner national recognition in Jewish music circles. It is one of the
most in-demand party groups in Florida. The band is based in Florida,
and has traveled extensively in the eastern US. The musicians come
from diverse professional music backgrounds, and the group has the
ability to play songs in any style -- swing, jazz, top 40, funk, latin,
disco, R&B, country -- you name it!
In addition to
party hits, the band has specialized in Jewish events, and is often
featured at Jewish festivals throughout the southeast. Although it is
often referred to as a klezmer band, the music that is performed goes
beyond klezmer, in an eclectic mix of Hebrew, Yiddish, Israeli,
Rumanian, old, new, traditional, and not-so-traditional. The band has
as much fun performing as the audience does listening, and concerts have
been described as “just like a Jewish wedding!” – no surprise, given the
group’s extensive experience with wedding and bar/bat mitzvahs. (One of
the few Florida bands that knows the meaning of bedeken, mezhinke, and
sheva brachot!)
The band's latest CD, Chazak,
was released in early 2005 to excellent reviews around the US. Chazak represents all sides of the band, from traditional to
original, all done with love and ruach (spirit) from Mike, who passed
away in September, 2005.
We look forward to providing
excitement for your next event!
