Geoff Berner

While Geoff Berner may be the spirit guide of the Brand, the Wedding Dance of the Widow bride is the work of the ensemble. Diona Davies' fiddle playing wails with a mad joy that scratches at the window and whispers away into the night, while Wayne Adams percussion is primal tribal.


In recent years, Geoff Berner has been engaged in a passionate pursuit of the roots of klezmer, a music born in Jewish communities in Russia and eastern Europe Klezmer is made by bands of Jewish musicians mixed with Roma, and other players that were the live entertainment at weddings and other celebrations.
