Mame-Loshn (2026) is the debut recording of the Yiddish swing revival band Di Svingers. Lead vocalists and co-leaders Ilana Zackon and Chloe Shekinah Resler met at the 2025 KlezKanada Summer Retreat. They decided to sing Moishe Oysher's "Chasidic in America" together at the KlezKabaret, and were met with overwhelming praise and shock that the two had only been singing together for merely a couple of days. The EP features many of the original band members, although Ilana and Chloe frequently perform with instrumentalists from across North America. The group has worked with Josh Socalled Dolgin, Emmy-award winning composer Dan Cantrell, and Leeav Sofer of Mostly Kosher, and has performed in Los Angeles, Denver, and Montreal.
Mame-Loshn features original swing arrangements, by band members David Chevan and Mckenna Reeve, of archival Yiddish tunes from Montreal and Denver's swing era. Dubbed "the new Barry Sisters", Ilana and Chloe's infectious harmonies and the band's upbeat, swinging sound are sure to get you up on your feet!
“Di Svingers sets Yiddish tunes to swing music for a new generation of listeners,” CJN, 2026
Recorded around a microphone in Chloe's living room, Under the Maple Tree (2021) is a celebration of musical friendship and fun.
"The album plays like an intimate house concert put on by close friends. Throughout, little creaks of a chair and the warm strumming of guitar are heard, placing the listener on the couch across the living room while sipping a hot chocolate...."
-Bandwagon Magazine, December 2021
In July of 2024, Chloe collaborated with Rosie Corr, Jillian Blevins, and the cast and crew of Mere Waters for its premiere at the SheNYC Summer Festival. She played two traditional Jewish nigunim, as well as the song "Reb Duvidl," for the show.
Amazilia (2019) is Chloe’s experimental debut album. It is a musical memoir and very reflective of her time in music school; it was recorded at the end of her sophomore year of her bachelor’s degree at the UNCo studio.
