Ishtar at the New Deal Cafe

Ben Gross, Neighbor

Combining traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean folk melodies with surf-rock elements, Ishtar plays what they call “BellyRock.” The band is comprised of Melissa Murphey on clarinet, Jeff Chmielarski on electric bass, Mark DeFilippo on darbuka, Beth DeFilippo on riqq and Rob Metil on Fender Stratocaster guitar. 

The performance starts at 7:00 p.m. will include local belly dancers who will encourage the crown to join in the festivities.
