Happie Hoffman

One Liner: The Cantorial Soloist for Temple Israel in Memphis (?!?!)

Wikipedia Genre: None, but Jewish chanting?  And maybe opera?  And maybe indie acoustic guitar solos?
Home: Memphis

Poster Position: 23
Both Weekends.  

Weekend One - Sunday.  Weekend Two - Friday.

Thoughts:  Well, there is something I didn't expect today.  According to Wikipedia, assuming this is the same Happie Hoffman, this gal is on staff at a Reform Jewish synagogue in Memphis, Tennessee.  Wikipedia says he is the Cantorial Soloist for the synagogue.  According to myjewishlearning.com, "a cantor — hazzan (חזן) in Hebrew — is the person who chants worship services in the synagogue."  "Beyond their responsibilities as prayer leaders, contemporary cantors typically also officiate at lifecycle events, teach bar and bat mitzvah students, and sometimes provide pastoral services."

Mmmmkay.  She has no Spotify presence other than appearing on songs for two other artists.  The best of those two is absolutely Zach Singer's "Adonai Malach," because the Laura Copel track sounds like a normal Christian music drivel.  The Singer song is slightly groovy and good.

Happie has a website - happiehoffman.com - but it pretty much just says coming soon.  The announcement from Temple Israel that she started there says she is native to Memphis, and was trained in opera at Indiana University.

Seriously, what the hell is going on here?  Is this like the niece of one of the C3 people or something?

I think this is her, being as her name is so very different that I can't imagine there is another woman singer with her name:

Sure.  Really pretty voice.  I have no clue what this is doing on the poster.  Maybe they're adding her to the Gospel stuff on Sunday morning (or adding a new Jewish chanting portion on Saturday morning?  Am I going to find a Muslim muezzin somewhere on the poster as well?
