The Rebecca Mac String Band is one of the most exciting new klezmer groups on the scene today.
Led by Boston-based Rebecca Mac (of the award-winning klezmer ensemble, Mamaliga), the Rebecca Mac String Band plays intricate and off-beat arrangements of original fiddle tunes, drawing inspiration from the traditional soundscapes of Klezmer and Eastern-European folk music.
