"Bryan is a versatile and passionate Jewish musician, one of the most talented our Reform Movement has produced in the last decade. As a composer and performer of Jewish music, he has a spark that lights up any audience, adults and children alike. As an entertainer, he excels, but what's more, he is an educator who will bring your congregation together as a community.
He is genuine, energetic, warm and inspiring, and will have your audience clapping, moving around to the music, singing along and smiling....You'll always remember a Bryan Zive and Kol Echad concert!
