Shir Tal-Ezer is a singer-songwriter from Israel, a part of the duo "Lorish" with guitarist Gal Daniel Cohen.

The two met at music school and have been working together for the past two years and their first album will debout during the winter of 2021.

Starting her journey as a solo artist, Shir released her first single "Count to ten" in May 2019 which was received with much love and was played a few times in Galgalatz- Israel's biggest radio station.

During that time she began performing all around Israel, with Gal as an accompanying guitarist. As time went by they started working writing and producing new songs together under the name "Lorish".

Shir is also a writer and a photographer, with major love for creating and exploring the mind and the universe.

It's my baby boy's first birthday! And to celebrate this event I had my amazing wife , Sammy Nicole Barnea, on the podcast.

Sammy is a 5th grade teacher and a professional photographer.

We had a great time and I hope you guys will too!

For the first time starting a monthly update episode with my band Utero to give you guys a glimpse of our journey.

“Black Ends’ self-described gunk-pop is about as sweet as that wad of asphalt-crusted bubblegum you found stuck on the bottom of your favorite boots. Much like the legendary grunge bands that influenced the Seattle trio, Black Ends is artfully adept at smothering familiar pop and rock structures with near-toxic levels of grime; but please don’t call them “post-grunge”, the term used to describe the major-label wave of flannel-clad bands trying to capitalize on grunge’s aesthetic. If you must, “post-post-grunge” may be more apt at capturing Black Ends’ reaction against this type of commercialization, but I digress... Back in March of 2019, the band released their debut EP, Sellout, which has been widely acclaimed within the Seattle music scene, getting featured on publications such as the Seattle Times and The Stranger, as well as being a favorite on beloved Seattle radio station KEXP. While the EP serves as an effective window into their sound, Black Ends’ music is most gripping in the context of their energetic and dynamic live performances. Bandleader Nicolle Swims takes charge with her commanding guitar playing, channeling catchy riffs and bluesy sensibilities through warped effects, scuzzy tones, and math-rock joltiness. The recurring lyrical theme of alienation is enhanced by Swims’ unique and cryptic vocal delivery that embraces her outsider status. Backing Swims is a talented rhythm section that seems to exponentially increase in inter-band chemistry with each show they play; Bassist Ben Swanson and drummer Jonny Modes are so tight they appear loose, like a runaway train threatening to veer off the tracks at any moment, yet somehow managing to be in the right place at the right time. Whether going off into a noisy freakout or a jammy detour the trio is always in sync and able to turn on a dime.”

Erik Nelson is one of the owners of FanFlex and the original brainchild of the platform. He

conceptualized the innovative platform from some of his earliest days in the music business and

it evolved through his years spent working in the live music and entertainment industries. During

the time spent in the industry, Erik observed the much needed demand for a tool to minimize

risk and increase revenue for musicians and venues alike, while giving fans a part in the

process. After a long conversation involving this subject at the Coachella Music Festival with his

long time college friend Gian Perugini, the two decided that together they would bring FanFlex

to life. Gian saw the need for a tool like FanFlex not only as a future A&R or tour routing asset

like Erik had envisioned for the traditional live music industry, but also as an invaluable resource

for non-traditional music venues across the country and the millions of independent musicians

filling their stages on a nightly basis. Together they have grown FanFlex into a national platform

covering 15 states and serving 5,000+ artists around the country.

His love for all types of musical expression has evolved into a unique sound that reflects his personal tastes and desires. His vocal style is reminiscent of Jeff Buckley's haunting vibrato, Chet Baker's smooth and crisp tone, and Robert Plant's blues roots.
