Chana Rothman has performed across north America, Italy, Israel and Nepal, where she trekked through the Himalayas with a guitar strapped to her pack. Originally from Toronto, Chana's music blends Israeli sensibility with freestyle and rhythm acoustic guitar. Insights from living in the mountains, growing up outside the mainstream, and songleading with lively kids from Kathmandu to the Lower East Side inevitably find their way into her music and interaction with the audience. The message is unity through music, breaking down walls between audience and performer, and just being yourself. Since moving to New York Chana plays to hoots and hollers at CBGB's, The Lion's Den, and The Bitter End.
