(AUSTIN, TEXAS – October 27, 2016) Yiddish Cowboys, one of Central Texas’s only professional klezmer bands, announced their return to The Kosher Store deli at the HEB on Village Center Drive. “We’re delighted to return to The Kosher Store,” said bandleader and clarinetist Michael Drapkin. “We actually started out there when we were on our original run-up to our concert at the South by Southwest music festival. We’ve had a warm relationship with Kosher Store manager Ephraim (Frank) Brock and the entire store staff.” The band will perform as follows: Band: Yiddish Cowboys Date: Sunday, December 18, 2016 Time: 1:30 – 3:30pm Venue: HEB Kosher Store Address: 7025 Village Center Drive, Austin, TX 78731 Cost: Free “The Kosher Store is a natural amphitheater,” said Drapkin. When we perform there, you can hear us all over the store, and people really like it. Plus you can sit at one of the tables and enjoy the best pastrami sandwich in Austin!” Yiddish Cowboys will also be premiering two new songs they are adding to their repertoire: “Uber Take Me Out to Sixth Street” based on an old Russian tune, and Theodore Bikel’s “Yossel der Klezmer.” “I wrote the new lyrics to the Russian tune before Uber pulled out of Austin,” said Drapkin. “We liked the words and decided to keep them. Plus we’ll be doing tunes to celebrate Chanukah.”
