About me
Clarinetist Michael Winograd lives in Brooklyn. His band, the Honorable Mentshn, brings klezmer music to ears, turntables and hearts around the world. Their newest album “Early Bird Special,” is pretty good! Michael collaborates with Pakistani vocalist Zeb Bangash in Sandaraa, and recently debuted ‘Yiddishe Pirat’ along with Socalled and Vulfpeck’s Jack Stratton. He’s currently working with vocalist Lorin Sklamberg on a program and recording of Yiddish Cabaret from Helsinki, debuting in Finland in November 2022. He has played and recorded with many of your favorite performers of Jewish music, and is a guest soloist with Vulfpeck, having joined them for a sold out show at NYC’s Madison Square Garden in 2019. His music is featured in films and TV, including HBOs reboot of “Sex and the City” (“And Just Like That,”) and was recently used by (current) US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Shumer’s new campaign ad, featured on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He is available for weddings and other celebrations, providing competitive and market-appropriate rates.
