<\/p>\nSOCALLED<\/a><\/b> The Chutzpah Festival says:<\/b> <\/p>\n “It\u2019s funny that rap brought Jewish kid Josh Dolgin (Socalled) to Jewish music. Searching for records to sample while studying at McGill, he stumbled across some old Jewish folk music. The result is his hybrid style of Jewish hip-hop and album titles like The Socalled Seder<\/i>. Montreal-based Dolgin was born in Ottawa and raised in Chelsea, Quebec. He played the piano as a kid and the accordion in high school and was in all sorts of bands: salsa, gospel, rock, funk. Then he discovered hip-hop and MIDI, and the rest is history. He\u2019s appeared on many albums as pianist, singer, arranger, rapper, writer, and producer. He also rocks with fellow klezmerhybrid musician David Krakauer in Klezmer Madness!, sings with Toronto\u2019s Beyond the Pale, performs with Shtreiml in Montreal, and with LA-based the Aleph Project. Socalled performs and records with \u201ca crew of mixed-up freaks and geniuses\u201d from around the world, including Killah Priest, Susan Hoffman-Watts, Frank London and Irving Fields.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n When:<\/b> Sunday, February 24 at 9:00 pm Tickets are $25 and can be purchased from Tickets Tonight<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SOCALLED Direct from Montreal Vancouver Premiere The Chutzpah Festival says: “It\u2019s funny that rap brought Jewish kid Josh Dolgin (Socalled) to Jewish music.
