Alexis "Lexi" Tischler is a Nashville-based country singer-songwriter who believes music has the power to connect us all. 

Her original song, "I Wanna Marry My Best Friend," has received radio airplay. Lexi took home first place in the Maybelline Jingle Competition. When she's not writing with fellow Nashville songwriters or performing around Music City, you'll find her bringing live music to hospital patients as a volunteer bedside performer with Musicians On Call, where she sees firsthand how music can change someone's day. Her passion for storytelling also extends beyond music—Lexi is an eight-time published poet whose work reflects the same authenticity and heart found in her original songs.

Long before Nashville, Lexi found her voice on the stage, performing in numerous musical theatre productions, including Monty Python's Spamalot, The Wedding Singer, and Fiddler on the Roof. She was also named her College's Theatre Award Recipient of the Year.

Klezmer-rock band Golem was founded by Annette Ezekiel Kogan in New York City, and since then, the band (Annette Ezekiel Kogan, Aaron Diskin, Jeremy Brown, Curtis Hasselbring, Taylor Bergren-Chrisman, and Tim Monaghan) has become a leading re-interpreter and innovator of Yiddish and Eastern European music, creating new songs and pushing tradition forward into new territory. Golem is known for its theatricality and fearless wild energy, combined with a boundless love of tradition. The band performs nationally and internationally, from the East Coast to the West, and from Paris to Mexico City to Stockholm to Warsaw.
