Alicia Jo Rabins

about

Alicia Jo Rabins started playing a very small violin at age three. Since then she has played all over the world: in the woods of West Virginia, the streets of Baltimore, the clubs of New York City, the marinas of Rio Dulce Guatemala, a museum in Paris, a boardwalk in Brooklyn, and lots of places in between. You may often find her sitting on her bed with a beat-up Kay guitar, writing songs. Or playing the fiddle, whether old-time (traditional Appalachian dance music, with banjos and stuff) or klezmer (Eastern European Jewish party music, with Slivovitz). In 2004 she packed up her things and moved to Brooklyn to join folk-punk-klezmer-rock band GOLEM, who have been accurately called "a garage band without the guitars who play Yiddish songs." When she's not touring, she lives in Brooklyn with her 2 fiddles, 2 guitars, banjo, soprano uke, banjo uke, accordion, roommates, and various houseplants. She is currently working on "Girls In Trouble," a song cycle about bad girls (and good girls in bad situations) in the Bible.
