Growing out of a casual jam session at KlezKanada in the summer of 2005, The Lithuanian Empire has evolved into a contagiously energetic and innovative band that has just released its first album. The band's unique composition of members spans from East, West, and Central Canada; the Appalachian Mountains, and the Nation’s Capital of the United States.
Members come from a variety of musical backgrounds, and each adds their unique perspective to the music. Some received classical training at the finest institutions in North America, while others are highly respected and sought-after freelance musicians. What all members share is a deep love of klezmer, and the creativity and drive to take this traditional music in new directions.
