Daniel in Babylon, Derech Haor the Chanukah Tour and…Downloads!

Lenny Solomon's Blog — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:18:09 +0000

Lots of stuff coming up in the next three weeks! We will be recording the second half of the musical Daniel in Babylon and hopefully going to production by the end of December. We have also just released Derech Haor. The 35th CD release since Shlock Rock started in 1986 and it is awesome! And of course the Chanukah tour which thus far has six shows on the agenda is coming in only one week. So….lots of stuff. But you know what I wanted to talk to you all about? You guessed it! Downloading! When you are in a niche market and you do concerts and music for a living. You need people to buy the products. Now I know, there is you tube and all these file sharing sites and frankly I myself don\’t remember the last CD that I bought. But…I do buy downloads. And so in the spirit of Chanukah and just embracing the world of digital downloads we are introducing three possible deals where you can download entire albums for anywhere from $3.33 per album to $4.16 per album. Isn\’t that outrageous? I mean….what else is there to say. For $100 you receive download links to all 500 or so Shlock Rock songs….I don\’t know the exact number but it is up there. So for the next month, if you grew up on Shlock Rock. If you want to put memories from your childhood or even your present on your MP3. Take advantage of this offer! Here is the link -

Talk to you soon and have a great Chanukah! And Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

Shana Tova from Lenny and Shlock Rock

Lenny Solomon's Blog — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 08:41:06 +0000

It is going to be an amazing year with Gods Help! We have a lot of plans this year in terms of releasing new music and making new videos and projects. As we go into Rosh Hashana I want to just tell everyone that they should treat the next 2 days as a blueprint for the year. The most important two things to keep in mind is to stay positive with positive happy thoughts and whatever happens – do not lose your temper! I will work on these things myself! On behalf of myself, my family and the band I wish you all a Ketiva Vachatima Tova. May we all have a great year full of Health, Happiness and Wealth and may we all be inscribed into the book of life!

Shabbat in Liverpool at the Hamptons

Lenny Solomon's Blog — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:39:43 +0000

Two weeks ago I experienced a top 10 moment in Shlock Rock History. The Hamptons Synagogue led by Rabbi Marc Schneier and Rabbi Avraham Bronstein brought me to the synagogue the weekend of Shabbat Nachamu or August 12-13 as a Musical Scholar in Residence. What happened that Shabbat was no less than amazing. Cantor Netanel Herstik and his musical director Itzhak Haimov and six voice choir took eight of my Beatles/Shabbat tracks and put them into the service. It was the most amazing thing that I have ever heard. My creation was put into the Shabbat Davening and 800 people came to hear it on Shabbat day. Yedid Nefesh to Yesterday, Lecha Dodi to 8 Days a Week and Penny Lane, ViShamru to The Long and Winding Road and finally Yigdal to When I’m 64. And this was just on Friday night. Shabbat day another four songs. The choir was flawless, the musical director outstanding and Cantor Herstik was unreal! I actually closed my eyes during the service and felt spiritually uplifted. Then on Shabbat late afternon I spoke to a full room about the Shabbat in Liverpool project, what it was for and why it was made. It was an outstanding Shabbat and one that will always resonate with me! It was supernaturally wonderful.

Thanks, Lenny

New Creations

Lenny Solomon's Blog — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:16:50 +0000

It has been awhile since I blogged and I am sorry about that - I definitely need a staff! God has blessed me with an ever creative mind and currently I have 13 projects on the back burner- And that does not include the three new projects that were released this week.

Release number one is the fourth music video from the album No Limits. This video which available on You Tube for you all to see is from the second track of the CD. The song Satisfied gives the message of the importance of being satisfied with your lot! I actually wrote the script and and co-directed the video. It was a really great experience. Just go to You Tube and type in Shlock Rock No Limits – Satisfied and it will pop up! Then make sure to buy the album or the download right here on this website!

The second release is a song that I recorded for Jonathan Pollard. You Shlockers will know that I have already written a song for Jonathan Pollard back in1999. That song How Much Longer is on the Meets The Prophets album. This new song is in Hebrew and features my second daughter Tamar as the flutist and my oldest daughter Ayelet as the sound engineer. We are going to take half the proceeds from the song and give it to charity in the hope that it redeems him. May Hashem make it happen!

The third project that is about to be released is the long awaited album A Shabbat in Liverpool! Yes folks, this project is scheduled for an end of August release although it will quite possibly be available from mid-July through this website. Do you release that this is the 32nd album? It is an exciting time for all Shlock Rock Fans as we approach our 25th anniversary!

Finally, I want to reference the 13 projects that are on the backburner! Shlock Rock is a proven tool to combat assimilation and inspire Jewish people to get closer to God and study more about their heritage. If there are investors would like to be a part of the most spiritual and exciting band in the Jewish Music History now is the time! Contact me and we will talk about how you can be a part of Shlock Rock’s Production!

Getting Ready for the Chanukah Season!

Lenny Solomon's Blog — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:55:27 +0000

So it was just Rosh Hashanah. Now we are under one month to Chanukah. This is a great time of year. A feel good time of year. It is not a time for writing new songs. Some people say to me – when do you write? I usually write sometime after Passover. That is the writing season. Right now – well this is performing season. It is a time when you hit the road and play 10 shows in 12 nights or 15 shows in 19 nights. It is an amazing thing to be able to do music for a living. But not just music – Jewish Music! I thank Hashem for the opportunity to be in this career!
