"Lil Rev is the Jewish Pete Seeger -Rabbi Larry Milder
Lil Rev is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and music-historian who teaches and tours nationally, around the continental U.S.
Known as a “protector of old songs, poetry and stories,” Rev has been called a “Wisconsin treasure,” (-Ann Schmid-UWM Folk Center). His many awards and frequent travels have garnered him a loyal and growing fan base amongst lovers of all things, Ukulele, Folk, Old Time, Harmonica, Jewish Music & Culture, American Labor History and Respect for our Elders!
Lil Rev calls his style of performance…edu-tain-ment!
It is a combination of songs, history, stories, poems, quotes, and jokes all wrapped up in a cloak of exuberance and gratitude for those moments when we can all come together and rise up singing…and celebrate life!
