The Dust Busters is my former old-time string band that was based out of Brooklyn, New York, from 2009 to 2013. Ballads, fiddle tunes, old-time songs & banjo breakdowns -- our distinct sound is contemporary, meaningful, raw... and foremost, fun!
Litvakus is a unique klezmer band where I play the violin, being the first band to focus exclusively on the music and culture of Belarus.
