Condensed Bio
The ferociously loud rooster in the neighbouring yard, the red alert sirens of falling Qassam rockets, the lack of a car in a small town on the edge of the country ... the fact that he can not play the drums for the life of him ... the elements on nature indeed! ... all give way to Dror Kessler when we puts down yet another heart piercing song on his kitchen table.
Hailing from Israel, recording for more than 15 years and performing solo since 2010, Dror is out there, day and night, putting his music and ideas in front of avid listeners in Israel and abroad.
Dror is out there, delivering, touring, siting across from you and telling it like it is. Dror is out there. Talking about getting hooked on a loved one, on reaching out for your post-adolescents, on what it means to be alive. On leaving everything behind for second chance. Dror is talking about cutting the life support and experiencing life directly, first hand.
Following on long tradition of folk singer songwriters, Dror’s music is lyrical and topical. It advocates social change, self sufficiency, compassion and acceptance.
Dror’s delivery style is direct - with guitar at hand and an occasional harmonica thrown in for good measure. A regular at Israel’s music and folk clubs, he delivers a full 90 minute solo show, interleaving songs with short story telling and mild peaching. When compensated generously or when he finally gets to returning messages left by his bandmates, Dror is joined by a small groups of talented musicians from his town.
His most recent album "Intifada Solitaire", released in Oct/2014, contains songs written and recorded in the midst of the summer conflict raging around Gaza, in the intimacy of a Sderot bomb shelter. The album was well received has become the centerpiece of Dror's current national tour. His previous album, “Re:Build”, released on 2012 is available on iTunes and bandcamp.
When he is not doing Music, Dror is actively engaged in running one of the most successful and under-the-covers one-man-show doing-it-for-the-love-of-good-design coding companies in Israel. He currently lives in Sderot and travels frequently across Israel and abroad.
