Iggy Waxman launches tour Six years have passed since her last concert tour, and now Iggy Waxman is ready to rock local audiences again. Her tour is in support of her most recent album, Mistovevim, but shows will include hits from throughout her career. The 33 year old Waxman will be backed by a four-piece band including Ron Bunker (guitar), Ariel Sherbkovski (bass), Aviv Cohen Hashani (drums), and Itai Ben Margi (keyboards). Waxman is best known for her debut album Adom (1995) and her follow-up Lo Mechakeh Yoter LeDavar (1997). On Mistovevim, Waxman's signature hyperactivity comes out in full force. The tour kicks off in her hometown of Jerusalem at Syndrome on March 23, then heads to Rishon Lezion on April 5, and then to Tel Aviv's Barbi Club. The concert in Tel Aviv is a special one, in which Waxman will host musician and ex-husband Hemi Rudner. Tickets available at all agencies. - Viva Sarah Press Kelly Clarkson makes adjustments The first ever "American Idol," Kelly Clarkson is generating a great deal of excitement in Israel, where she is slated to perform at the end of the month.
