Mark Rubin- Jew of Oklahoma

Mark Rubin Live in Boston – Americana, Klezmer & Jewish Folk Music
Mark Rubin, co-founder of the legendary Bad Livers, brings his genre-defying blend of Americana, klezmer, bluegrass, country, punk, and blues to Boston for an intimate solo concert.
A pioneering voice in the Americana movement, Rubin proudly calls himself the “Jew of Oklahoma.” His music bridges Jewish heritage and Oklahoma roots, creating a powerful mix of tradition, rebellion, humor, and cultural storytelling.
Why See Mark Rubin Live?
🎶 Authentic Americana & Jewish Roots Music
🪕 Masterful banjo and guitar performance
✡️ Klezmer influences woven into American folk traditions
🎤 Sharp songwriting with wit, protest spirit, and heart
Praised by the Weitzman Museum as “one of the great Jewish musicians of our time,” Rubin delivers raw, plainspoken songs that resonate with fans of folk, roots, and cultural music alike.
A Respected Figure in Klezmer and Folk
Klezmer audiences may know Rubin from collaborations with:
Frank London’s Klezmer Brass All-Stars
The Other Europeans
Andy Statman
His performances feel equally at home in a honky-tonk, a concert hall, or a synagogue social space — always intimate, always unfiltered, always unforgettable.
