Charming Hostess is a band that grew out of the avant-rock scene of Oakland, California, in the mid-1990s.
Charming Hostess (big band)
Charming Hostess, as a big band, blended eerie harmonies, complex rhythms, and a playfulness about gender. Charming Hostess drew on women's vocal traditions (primarily from Eastern Europe and North Africa), and integrated them with American folk forms both white and black. Charming Hostess was founded in the fertile anarchy of Barrington Co-op, and nurtured by the West Oakland arts community, along with other coeval bands such as Fibulator and Eskimo. Half of Charming Hostess was also in Idiot Flesh/Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. The final effect was of a hoedown where bodacious babes belted the blues in Bugarian while a punk-klezmer band rocked out in accompaniment.The genre of this incarnation of ChoHo was KLEZMER-PUNK/BALKAN-FUNK. Recordings of Charming Hostess Big Band include “Nub City” (Vaccination, 1994), "Eat" (Vaccination, 1998) and "Punch" (ReR, 2005), and now “Feast”, (! a N G R r ! ,2024). Charming Hostess Big Band was: Jewlia Eisenberg (voice, direction), Carla Kihlstedt (voice, fiddle), Nina Rolle (voice, accordion), Wes Anderson (drums), Nils Frykdahl (guitar, flute, saxophone, percussion), Dan Rathbun (bass)and Jenny Scheinman (voice, violin).

Jewlia Eisenberg works at the intersection of voice, text and diaspora consciousness. A composer, a musician, a ritual worker, the leader of the ensemble Charming Hostess and half of Book of J, her mission was to make lovely noise about complex ideas. Her music is mostly released on the Tzadik label's Radical Jewish Culture imprint. Recordings include Sarajevo Blues on Bosnian resistance poetry and Trilectic on the political-erotic world of Walter Benjamin. She often worked in immersive installation—making hybrid spaces that incorporate music performance, visitor participation, and non-coercive ritual. Installations include Teraphim (Meridian Gallery) on household gods; The Bowls Project (YBCA) on Babylonian women’s amulets and Fierce as Death, Queer as the Song of Songs, an upcoming collaboration with the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Jewlia's work has been curated into the Prague Bienalle, the Oakland Museum, and the Museum of Peace in Uzbekistan. She performed regularly in Europe and the Americas; she has been a visiting artist at CalArts, MIT, and YIVO. Her interests included bible study and home abortions. Brooklyn born and bred, she last called Oakland home. See C.V.
