Chana Rothman

Chana Rothman's tunes, born of her native Canada, Himalayan trekking, adventures in Israel, and current muse, the New York City subways, have earned a growing pile of accolades. New York Times called her recent River-to-River Festival concert "well worth checking out" and The Jewish Week gave her debut cd, We Can Rise (Oyhoo Records), four stars. Popsyndicate.com calls her music "Bob Marley meets Edie Brickell," and the album was voted "Best of 2007" by jewschool.com. Rothman has shared the stage with Hasidic reggae phenom Matisyahu as well as DJ Shadow and Lou Reed.
