The Schticklers - America's premier Jewish Jug Band

Joel is a regular in the Jewish Jug Band "The Schticklers," with esteemed musicians Barb Silverman, Jon Spiegel and Stuart Rosenberg.

The Schticklers’ unique mixture of traditional jug band music and Jewish folk songs won them the top slot at the 2010 Midwest Jug Band Competition.

You can see their trophy prominently displayed on the wall of the café at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Just look for the antique sausage grinder with their names engraved on it!
Weavermania; A Great Tribute to Pete Seeger and the Weavers Joel had the wonderful opportunity to join the incredible musicians of Weaveramania - an authentic Weavers Tribute band – on a recent Colorado tour.

Since Joel is directly related to original Weavers member, Freddy Hillerman, it was only appropriate that he played his parts.

Weavermania band members include Barbara Barrow and Michael Smith (most famous for his beautiful song, “The Dutchman,”) banjo player, Mark Dvorak and Chris Walz.

Upon their return they performed at Evanston SPACE. Here they are performing Rock Island Line.
