Matisyahu!
The single “One Day” from his new album “Light” is a catchy tune with an uplifting message. Check it out.

We like his music. We went to see him at the 9:30 Club in DC and Christine got so excited she spilled her beer (while breaking her leg). Of course, this happened before the show started.

He's playing elsewhere on this tour and we may take another look. The funny thing is that he dresses like a traditional Ska musician! It just happens to be Hasidic high-style.

Cheers, RickG
