music and jewish culture without nostalgia.

Avi Fox-Rosen is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, NY, equally at home in rock, Yiddish, klezmer, theater, or improvised music worlds. He’s worked with many of the leading lights in new Yiddish music over the last 20 years including Adrienne Cooper, Daniel Kahn, Sarah Gordon, Michael Winograd, Basya Schechter, The Klezmatics, and the solo projects of Matt Darriau, Frank London, and many others including his brother, bassist and singer Benjy Fox-Rosen. 

Avi shreds as a member of .357 Lover, whose dynamics include power-chord riffs and densely-packed, narrative structures, a homunculus of Queen and Tiny Tim, lead by the phenomenal Corn Mo, a fixture of New York’s rock scene for over 20 years. 

Basya Schechter and Avi Fox-Rosen present Itzik Manger’s Khumesh Lider, art pop settings of Itzik Manger’s poetry.

Avi is a member of Yiddish Princess, a band that generously offers a way for you to reconcile your love of power pop and hard rock with your love of Yiddish music.

As a songwriter, Avi makes music with a sardonic sense of humor, dense and dark lyrics, and enchantingly twisted melodies. New York Music Daily has heralded Avi’s work as “consistently excellent”.

Outside of his musical world, Avi is also a proud parent, 🌈, and is a lead software developer at an educational technology firm.
