"An Israeli cellist of striking gifts and eclectic tastes, Yoed Nir has toured the world alongside a truly disparate range of artists, including Judy Collins, Regina Spektor, Rufus Wainwright, Of Montreal and Mountain Goats.

Her books include the humor collection "With One Eye Open" and the erotica collection "Deep Inside. Since 2011, Polly has only been giving live performances of her one-woman shows. She is currently touring her first two shows "How to Survive Your Adult Relationship with Your Family" and "Bad Role Models and What I Learned from Them" around the country to acclaim, including this review in the Huffington Post by Jaime Lubin: "Wedged snugly into a corner table this Tuesday at the Cornelia Street Cafe, I watched in amazement as Polly Frost worked magic on her audience. The landmark venue has often showcased strong ubertalented women (it's where The Vagina Monologues premiered), but for sheer stage presence Ms. Frost is in a class by herself. Armed only with memories and a microphone, she held the crowd spellbound for an hour and a half -- a powerful reminder that simplicity can triumph over spectacle."

For their debut CD, ​The Westerlies interpret chamber pieces, jazz tunes, and film music composed by their mentor Wayne Horvitz. An intimate view of one of America’s most engaging genre-bending artists, the album’s combination of folk, classical, and improvisational approaches will appeal far beyond jazz circles.

“The Westerlies are super great! Wow. Swinging, grooving, clean and tricky playing. This is the group that, once you've heard them, you'll realize they always needed to exist. Unique, original, exciting. And simply killing in the best sense.” –- Dave Douglas
