Amazing! His stories between songs are some of the best. If you like a great singer/songwriter you will not be disappointed. Lyrics are nothing short of brilliant.

Eel (Or Clem Snide) is a great artist of talent and tenderness. His shows, like his music, are full of soul, surprises humor and redemption. Such a pleasure to listen to him live and in colour. Highest recommendations.

I'm a Monarch member, so keep that in mind when reading this. I think the Monarch MAC is a great idea and an enjoyable place to watch and listen to music. That said, I wish they could scale up a little more. The front room barely holds 50 people, and the upper back room holds another ~20 or so. So, you might have 75 people watching a performer/band. Some performers might like that, but I'm sure many others would love to have 100+ watching. In any case, it's a homey environment, very intimate (see comments above), and very welcoming. The 2 acts performing on 10/3/24 were Rye Valley (band) and Clem Snide (formerly a band, now a solo act featuring Ifar "Eef" Barzelay - the former band leader). Rye Valley were pretty good, for a new act. The songs are good, and I imagine as they mature as an act they will get much better. Highlights included "NASCAR Dad," among a few others. The coolest thing about Rye Valley is they feature a pedal steel player, which is just SO COOL, it's hard to express! That gentleman also backed up Clem Snide on several tracks, which was very nice, indeed! Clem (or Eef, actually) was a fun act and has been around for 25+ years, so his songs, while lyrically spare, are a little more expressive emotionally and convey some deeper meanings. Highlights included "Stayin' Alive" (yes, THAT Stayin' Alive!), and many others. If there was one downside to the evening, it was that the AC had gone out (unfortunately), so it got pretty warm in the place, with 60+ people converged in a small area. The Monarch MAC is BYOB, so if you consider going, make sure you have your favorite brew or poison on hand.

About Clem Snide

“The last ten years have been a rollercoaster of deep despair and amazing opportunities that somehow present themselves at the last possible second,” says Eef Barzelay. “During that time, the band bottomed out, my marriage was crumbling, I lost my house, and I had to declare bankruptcy. The only way to survive was to try to transcend myself, to find some kind of deeper, spiritual relationship with life. Once I committed to that, all these little miracles started happening.”

‘Forever Just Beyond,’ Barzelay’s stunning new album under the Clem Snide moniker, may just be the most miraculous of them all. Produced by Scott Avett, the record is a work of exquisite beauty and profound questioning, a reckoning with faith and reality that rushes headlong into the unknown and the unknowable. The songs here grapple with hope and depression, identity and perception, God and the afterlife, humanizing thorny existential issues and delivering them with the intimate, understated air of a late-night conversation between old friends. Avett’s production is similarly warm and inviting, and the careful, spacious arrangement of gentle guitars and spare percussion carves a wide path for Barzelay’s insightful lyrics and idiosyncratic delivery.

“I look up to Eef with total respect and admiration,” says Avett, “and I hope to survive like he survives: with total love for the new and the unknown. Eef’s a crooner and an indie darling by sound and a mystic sage by depth. That’s not common, but it’s beautiful.”

Named for a William S. Borroughs character, Clem Snide first emerged from Boston as a three-piece in the early 1990’s, and the group would go on to become a cult and critical favorite, picking up high profile fans from Bon Iver to Ben Folds over the course of three decades and more than a dozen studio albums. NPR highlighted the Israeli-born Barzelay as “the most underrated songwriter in the business today, with a sneakily firm grasp on poignancy and humor,” while Rolling Stone hailed his songwriting as “soulful and incisive,” and The New Yorker praised his music’s “soothing melodies and candid wit.”

Barzelay currently resides in Nashville, TN.
