Lenny Solomon comes from a very musical family where there were Cantors on both his mother’s and father’s side going back generations. Lenny played accordion from the age of eight and piano from the age of fifteen.
In 1983 Lenny formed the band Kesher, a contemporary Jewish rock band and released three albums from 1984 – 1987. Lenny wrote fourteen of the twenty eight songs on the album.
While still playing with Kesher, Lenny went into the studio and recorded the first Shlock Rock album “Learning is Good.” Shlock Rock was not supposed to be a career move but rather just a fun thing to do!
Little did Lenny know, God had other plans. The music took off and by Sept 1987 the band Shlock Rock had their first concert.
Since January 1986 Lenny Solomon and Shlock Rock have released thirty seven albums and three music video compilations There are 495 Shlock Rock songs!
