With record-breaking album sales and scores of sold-out performances, Blue Fringe is fast establishing itself as America’s favorite Jewish rock band.

Captivating large and enthusiastic audiences of all ages across the religious spectrum throughout the U.S. and abroad, the band successfully mixes pop, rock, funk and R&B with Jewish themes that are particularly relevant today.

In the 3 years since its inception, Blue Fringe has released two albums. Their debut album, My Awakening, (June 2003) featured compositions ranging from soul-searching to satiric, setting a new standard for Jewish popular music. Boasting a more mature sound, the group’s sophomore album, 70 Faces (June 2005) features 11 original songs, in Hebrew and English, offering a rare blend of Jewish themes and a contemporary sound reminiscent of the Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, and John Mayer.

The band performs regularly on the East Coast, and has also toured the U.S., Canada, South Africa, Australia, the UK, and Israel, where it performs frequently, including the “Rock `n Soul Festival” in Beit Shemesh that hosts 10,000 fans.

The band is comprised of four 20-something friends: Dov Rosenblatt, guitarist, songwriter and vocalist with an engaging stage presence and heartfelt style; Avi Hoffman, composer and lead guitarist known for his electrifying, bluesy notes; drummer Danny Zwillenberg, who incorporates rhythms from the likes of Latin, reggae, funk and rock; and Hayyim Danzig on the bass, both electric and upright, who gives the group its soul with bass-lines deeply rooted in old-school funk and jazz.

Arranged, written, and recorded over the course of several months, The Whole World Lit Up, Blue Fringe’s highly-anticipated third album, hits stores this December and features a ten song collection of innovative approaches to traditional Jewish tunes. Weaving familiar melodies with original lyrics about anti-Semitism, the ongoing war in Israel, and the Jewish response of prayer to 9/11, the album infuses new perspective into ancient liturgy and promises to be their most successful release yet.
