It is probably safe to assume that there are no other musical duos who represent a synthesis of Old-time Music and Klezmer favorites - “klezgrass.” Natalya Zoe Weinstein comes from a long line of klezmer and jazz musicians, and John Cloyd Miller, the grandson of bluegrass fiddling legend Jim Shumate, comes from bluegrass royalty. They are a Davidson favorite, having first performed at a Traditional music concert in 2017, and more recently appearing as our Music Department guest artists for the 2021 Holiday Gala.
