Lazer Lloyd at Univ. of Washington Chabad
Lazer Lloyd returns to the Univ. of Washington Chabad on campus where he previously performed with his band to rave reviews. This visit will feature his intimate solo acoustic show now playing to sell out crowds all over Israel.
Washington Post: "One of the most popular blues singers and guitarists in Israel is Lazer Lloyd"
"Lazer Lloyd's show was intense never taking his foot off the pedal and demonstrating guitar playing reminiscent to the great players of the 60s." - Bruce Maltby, Owner Violet's Venue, Barrie, Ontario.
"This is the best Rock N Roll Blues that I have seen in Israel. Amazing, you have to see him live." Ben Red, 88FM (Israeli radio)
"Lloyd's guitar skills are impeccable, along with a rich, vocal delivery. A consummate musician, writer and storyteller." Nashville Blues Society
"He handles his guitar like it was an extension of his lanky, but sturdy body, and the glorious noise that it emits emerges directly from his soul. He's the best guitarist in Israel." Jerusalem Post.
Lazer Lloyd, Israel's King of Blues Rock, brings to Russia and USA fresh sound, new songs, and deep roots for solo shows and trio performances with all-star backing. Lazer is an Israeli singer/songwriter and an international recording artist influenced by blues, gospel, southern rock, and the great guitar traditions of power and groove from Hendrix to Wes Montgomery. His music takes the audience into his world from the tender moments of a traveling musician in "By Your Side", to a man struggling with life in "Talk", he opens hearts with "world soul groove" on "Way Down" and "Back Porch" and then rocks with intensity and joy on irresistible tunes like "Good Man Down", "Set My Soul Free", and "Rockin' in the Holy Land".
Lazer Lloyd has crossed over into the Israeli mainstream music scene and has been featured playing live on Israeli Channel 8 TV's "Guitar Heroes" hosted by Tal Friedman, Channel 10s "London and Kirschenbaum", Israeli Channel 2's "Good Morning", 88FM with Gedi Livneh, as well as on Yoav Kutner's Army Radio program. Kutner commented, "From the moment the sounds of his guitar reached the air it was completely clear that this is an international-level guitarist. His shows are worth every minute. One of the great musicians."
Flying to the USA fresh from his second tour of Russia, Lazer has opened for such artists as Johnny Winter, Prince, Snowy White, and Olie Brown. Lazer Lloyd's singing and guitar playing has been honed to perfection by his constant touring in Israel. He brings new songs and sounds on tour with all star backing by the rhythm sections of the Balkun Bros in Connecticut (11/13), the Chicago Blues Kings in LaJolla at the Lawrence Family JCC Garfield Theatre (11/20), and shows with two of California's great bass players Crazy Tomes (a fellow Israeli who plays with Guitar Shorty) at The Mint in LA (11/24) and Ron Perry (John Lee Hooker, Susan Tedeschi) at Biscuits and Blues (11/23) and co-sponsored by the West Coast Blues Society and Beth Shalom in Carmichael, CA (11/22).

He will perform on the UCLA campus on Nov. 17th co-hosted by UCLA Hillel, Habonim Dror, Masa Israel, and the Mickey Katz Endowed Chair in Jewish Music at UCLA and at Univ of Washington on Nov. 16th.

Tickets
Lazer and his all-star partners will perform an unforgettable evening of music presenting some of Lazer Lloyd's greatest tunes and previewing his upcoming self-titled 2015 album of new electric music.
