The Third Ear was founded by Miki Dotan in 1987. Originally established near the Maariv Bridge, the alternative record store/pub soon moved to Shenkin Street, and after a sojourn there, moved to its current location on 48 King George Street in 2005. A hub for the music scene, The Third Ear is the place to go for those hard-to-find vinyls and CDs, as well as newly released music, films, and live shows. Its new renovation and launch of the OZEN – Sub Culture Center marks the beginning of a new direction, with an emphasis on creating a cultural center for musicians, artists, and music lovers.
The four-day festival will open on Wednesday, April 20th with a free event featuring Red Band performing in the record store, Gilad Kahana in a new live electronic show, and a special edition of Blues & Booz. Doors open at 19:30, advance registration required.
Thursday, April 21st – Hila Ruah at 20:15 and Corinne Allal at 21:00. Doors open at 19:30, tickets are 80 NIS.
