recording, Seashells, will be out in March."
Mosher, who sings and plays guitar and fid-

Man Clapping, through Border's in Ann Arbor.
He also has played on Barrett's albums.
"I'm going to do a short opening set playing
songs off my CD and some topical songs I've
written about the season," says Mosher, 40,
who learned about traditional Jewish music
after his father and brother both married Jew-
ish women. "I'll be accompanying David Bar-
rett on fiddle, mandolin and guitar."
