Lil' Rev has been called “the Jewish Pete Seeger,” which is high praise whether you’re Jewish or a fan of traditional folk music (or possibly neither). The Milwaukee musician stays busy with regular gigs around the area, as well as workshops and appearances at folk festivals all over the country. In concert, he’s a charming presence, sharing the stories behind the old-timey music—whether it’s country blues, folk, or ragtime tunes—that remains his biggest obsession.
