Fronted by Jewish-Detroiter singer-songwriter Daniel Kahn on vocals, accordion, piano and guitar with East German Johannes Paul Graesser on fiddle, US expat composer Michael Tuttle on upright bass and a rotating roster of some of Berlin and New Yorks best young Klezmer and Balkan players, the band was formed in Berlin in fall of 2005. Guest artists on the CD include NY downtown Tsadik players Brandon Seabrook & Eric Rosenthal (Naftule's Dream), Holland's rising yiddish folk diva Niki Jacobs (Nikitov), and members of Berlin's "Grinstein's Mishpoche" and "Shikker Vi Lot." Like the grotesque Jerzy Kosinski novel from which they take their name, The Painted Bird reminds us that even if man is only an animal, he can still sing.

Exquisite, 'grotesque', avant-garde magic...

I adore this CD; I feel very much in love with it. Yiddish is a fascinating language, the tongue that binds Hebrew and German, but it also sounds exquisitely Eastern European, almost like Romany music. Daniel Kahn deserves renown, for he has {and those artistes who perform with him have} a remarkable artistic talent.

We heard Daniel Kahn perform in person and were overwhelmed by his performance. We eagerly bought the CD on the spot. We thought our grandson would also enjoy it and ordered that copy from CDBaby.

"Dan Kahn is the hottest damn songwriter you've never heard of" YES! He really is. I´m deep in love since I found this great man. I´m from Germany, so this music is an experience... you couldn´t imagine.
Sad. Deep. Sharp. Dirty. Tragic.
Huff, I´m bad in English, otherwise I couldn´t stop writing and thinking and suggesting.
Thank you, Dan.
