Neal's Chanukah CD is finally here!

My newest CD was released in December - it is called "Be A Light - Chanukah Songs for Grown Ups. It was produced by the amazing Tom Prasada Rao. This fun project brings together some incredible talent - Sonia Rutstein, Billy Jonas, Chris Albert, Tom PR, Cary Cooper, Dirje Smith, Mike Grinnell, Adam Myers, Griffin Goodman, Stacy Beyer, and more. The CD has 12 tracks - eight of which are Chanukah standards - set with klezmer-style music and beautiful strings. This CD also features the hit song "On The Air" - about my experience being interviewed by a reporter on the right way to spell Chanukah. I am also re-recording my classic song "Oseh Shalom" with a simpler and more beautiful arrangement with the help of Stacy Beyer. That song will also be on the Chanukah CD.

"Day Will Come" Update

My debut folk CD, "Day Will Come" was released in March of 2009 and it was the culmination of many years of writing and performing. The CD has been selling well and receiving critical praise for its original lyrics, its folk/pop music, and its wonderful production by Tom Prasada Rao. Neal is looking to build his base of folk-music fans - so buy a copy today, and send it along to a friend.
