Chava Schneider – Guitarist, Singer

Chava Schneider was born and grew up in Chelsea. Both her parents were involved in music professionally- her father taught high school music and her mother played in orchestras locally. From an early age, Chava studied choir and piano, but immediately loved guitar. She was influenced by folk, rock, classical, popular and jazz. She led a band, recorded an album of her songs, and played, performed and recorded with many other artists. She toured extensively in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Once she discovered Yiddishkeit, she was drawn more and more into a Jewish way of life, and now only performs for women.
