Since 2015, Chillent's unique "soul stew" of Jewish-flavored funk, rock, jazz, and blues has heated up Pittsburgh's favorite venues, festivals, and airwaves.
Their energetic live performances have been described as "klezmer Phish," and "Maceo Parker at a bar mitzvah."
They have played shows and festivals with Matisyahu, G-Nome Project, Moshav, Soulfarm, Zusha, Magic Beans, and Flux Capacitor, and their appearance at City Winery NYC's klezmer brunch was the series' most attended performance.
Jewish Soul Stew, their acclaimed debut album, was released in the summer of 2017, and their follow up, Live Chillent: Vol 1, was released in the summer of 2019.
While the band became largely inactive during pandemic, they continue to get together from time to time for the occasional show in the Pittsburgh area.
In 2025, Chillent celebrates its ten-year formation by joining Redemptone Records, a Miami-based collective bringing their Jewish Soul Stew to an even wider audience.
They hope to play a series of shows in the Summer of 2025 to celebrate.
Stay tuned for more details!
