Vered in Da’ House

Vered, the New-York based Israeli singer-songwriter, is set to unveil her third album this September. The indie, folk-rock musician definitely knows how to draw a crowd with her free-spirited acoustic tunes.

In one of her recent performances at a venue in downtown Manhattan, Vered joked onstage about the hassle of having to renew her Israeli passport that week. And to the delight of every man in the room, she added: “Yes, I am Israeli. And I was in the army.” The entire crowd clapped and cheered. Somehow, that army bit always does the trick.
