More about the Musicians:
We are delighted to welcome to Jerusalem, internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Bernice Lewis.
With almost four decades of performing festivals, concert halls, coffeehouses, colleges, and house concerts, along with a half dozen acclaimed CDs, Bernice Lewis has built a solid national fan base. She is also a published poet, a producer, and an educator extraordinaire. Lewis — who studied vocal improvisation with Bobby McFerrin, guitar technique with Alex DeGrassi and Guy van Duser, and songwriting with Rosanne Cash and Chris Williamson — has been a featured performer on NPR’s Mountain Stage program, as well as at the Kennedy Center. In 2008, she was awarded an Artist in Residence position by the National Park Service. In 1987, she was a finalist in the prestigious New Folk Songwriting Contest at the Kerrville (Texas) Folk Festival, where she continues to be a main stage favorite. Her ballad, “Bridges That Hold,” was included in Peter, Paul and Mary’s Lifelines video (PBS). She was featured in Yoga Journal for her work with sound and yoga, and has shared the stage with many renowned artists, including Dar Williams, Dixie Chicks, Patty Griffin, Pete Seeger, Ellis Paul, Rory Block, Livingston Taylor, Odetta, Christine Lavin, Marty Sexton, Patty Larkin, Catie Curtis, Mary Gauthier… it’s a long list. She has a forty-year old daily yoga practice, loves good coffee, and her religion is the Grand Canyon.
“For me, it’s about the songs, each different, each a well thought out message, each a labor of love,” says Bern Berkalin Records. Produced in Nashville by Mike T Lewis of The Twangtown Paramours, this collection of originals features guest appearances by Jimmy Van Cleve of Mountain Heart, Harris Paleltiner of Darlingside, and MaryBeth Zamer of The Twangtown Paramours..
Bernice is The Artist Associate in Songwriting at Williams College in Williamstown, MA. She also teaches at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, CO, Rock On Camp at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, MA, as well as at many schools and retreat centers. She has also been an Artist in Residence and workshop presenter at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, Kripalu Center for Yoga in Lenox, MA, and Esalen Institute in Big Sur.
Bernice is also becoming widely known for her History Alive presentation, a multi-media discussion of her family’s emigration from Nazi Germany, specifically designed for Junior and Senior High School classrooms. Her song, “Ways to Survive,” won an award from the American Zionist Movement in 1996.
She is a founding and current member of The Ladies Auxiliary Ukulele Orchestra.
Her writings and recordings will be archived in the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX.

“Bernice is a voice full of light and hope. She is one of the keepers of the flame of Real Songwriting.”
– Rosanne Cash
“Bernice’s life is filled with beautiful, deep things, and she writes beautifully and deeply about them. ‘Good Kind of Love to Be In’ is wonderful; spoke right to my heart! Great, jazzy cover of ‘A Case of You.’ Musically and vocally, she has new wings with the genres she’s been exploring.”
-Dar Williams
“An enlightening presence…”
-Steve Morse, Boston Globe
“It is impossible not to have a good time listening to Lewis sing.”
– Scott Alarik, Boston Globe
“Bernice Lewis may well be the frosting on the cake!”
– Rod Kennedy, Director, Kerrville Folk Festival

Michal Shababo – Michal loves music and loves to share it. She is a academically trained musician, composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, vocal coach, music teacher, producer, prayer leader, peace-seeker, mother and wife. Michal has over a decade.
She studied piano since the age of five and guitar since age 13. She has been singing since she was a young child, and studied with renowned voice teachers Kay Montgomery (USA), Anthea Haupt (SA), Andrea Catzel (SA and AUS) and Aramat Arnheim (IL). She has studied intensively both in Los Angeles and the Academy of Music in Jerusalem culminating in a MA.
In addition she has taken many private lessons with masters from around the world, had a rock band called “Displaced People” in Los Angeles gigged a lot, and played lots of music around campfires. Music is never-ending and I am always seeking.
I love to share my knowledge – and help make music accessible and tangible. I believe in the power of consistency and hard work.
Michal released her first international commercial release “Breathe It In”, which is a modern take on folk-rock music of the late sixties and is heavily influence by the Beatles among many others. Mastered by Grammy-nominated sound engineer Emily Lazar, and featuring some of the best Israeli musicians, including the African Hebrew Gospel Choir.
