When Dov Rosenblatt was 11, he placed an ad in the local newspaper in Baltimore offering his musical services to play keyboard at private parties. Despite his mother's warnings to callers ("He's only 11"), he launched his performance career at that tender age. Now 22, Dov continues to write, sing, record and perform with two bands in the New York area, Blue Fringe and Gonzo Station. . A self-taught musician - piano, drums and then guitar - Dov writes in a variety of song styles, from pop/rock to reggae. He is a natural performer and communicates well with his audience, from clubs in New York City to campus concerts, mixing soft humor and a passionate presentation style. Dov is waiting for a 'dare-to-be-great' situation!

Standing at 6'4" and somewhat resembling an upright bass, Hayyim Danzig has a strong presence on and off the stage. Danzig is an intelligent and articulate man, unafraid to stand up for what he believes in. His funky style of bass playing is influenced by greats such as Charles Mingus and Victor Wooten. Danzig offers a soft touch both in his everyday life, dealing with people, and in his bass playing. His soulful bass-lines serve as the backbone to Blue Fringe and have earned him the nickname, "The Prince of Bass Frequencies."
 
 
Avi Hoffman was born in the far distant realm known as Houston, Texas. Nobody knows his real age, but everyone agrees that he was already a century old at the time of the War of the Orcs, in which he fought valiantly. His majesty, the Emperor, awarded him for his efforts by appointing him as a knight on his Honorable Service. He has been serving on this post for just short of a millenia, and it is believed that his involvment with Blue Fringe has something to do with a quest upon which he was ordered to embark. The finer details remain a mystery. Although he is skilled at playing the lyre and the Conjural Mage's harp, the guitar is something he has only been playing for about three hundred years. He met a private trader from the Craftsman guild, and he replaced his battle axe with his current "axe," the Blue Daisy. The guitar itself may date back to the time of the fourth Ice Age, and its mythical powers are known to all. The trader bestowed this gift upon Avi as gratitude for Avi's slaying of the Beast of Ute up in the mountains of Pictathia. Avi loves that weather which preceeds rainfall...
 
 
Danny Zwillenberg started his musical endeavor only 5 short years ago. Since then, he has drummed in several bands and has performed all over-- he is a true phenomenon. Due to his countless hours of practice mixed with his raw, natural talent, Danny plays each Blue Fringe song with precision and style, blending ska and reggae with Jewish rock. "DZ Supertrain" is a real lover of music, as he can be seen at any time of day walking with his headphones on, listening to Elliot Smith, or Nick Drake, while drumming on his legs, desk, or whatever is in front of him. As long as he sits there, watching the sunset, he is in paradise.
