Eli Green
Owner and Founder of Green & Friends, Eli Green has been singing since his youth, and began working professionally in the retirement and long-term care space in 2015 after nearly a decade of volunteering in a long-term care home in his North York neighbourhood.
Since launching his faith-centred Jewish Music Toronto brand in 2014, Eli has continued expanding his repertoire and offerings far beyond singing liturgical music, to classic and contemporary pop songs from Frank Sinatra to Gordon Lightfoot in themed shows, solo or with accompanists, and full bands. He continued to grow the brand with teaching private and group vocal lessons, show production, live readings and, with the launch of Green & Friends, representing other talented artists and performers.

Yosl and the Yingels
Yosl and the Yingels are a Yiddish swing and folk band who fuse together classic Jewish European folk songs with Yiddish big band and theatre music. Yosl and the Yingles are the only Toronto-based secular artists dedicated to writing original music in the now rarely spoken Yiddish language. The band is the project of lead singer and accordionist Joseph ‘Yosl’ Landau, who is one of the only Canadian writers of Yiddish music in the ‘fray veld’ today.
