- Steve_Lieberman abstract "Steve Lieberman (born 1958) (also known as the Gangsta Rabbi) (Hebrew name ליב פרץ בין אליאזר ה־בדלן ה־נזדי or Lev Ava'ran bar-Eli'ezar ha-Bad'lan ha-Naz'ari) is a Jewish-American punk rock singer, musician, composer and producer residing in Freeport, New York. Considered an outsider musician, \"walking the line between insanity and genius [sic]\", partially attributed to his lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder, and his five-year fight with leukemia in his later years, he has commercially released 25 CDs as well as 38 cassette albums in the underground.On all his releases, Lieberman sang and played all instruments himself. In addition to guitar, bass and beats, he added flutes, various brass instruments and a variety of exotic Eastern instruments .In his later years, he added and arranged a full range of trombones in an effort to fuse punk-rock with marching band music and elemental jazz which he did beginning with his 24th cd, 2015's \"Blast-O-Rama\". He has shared the stage with Weezer, Andrew WK, Glassjaw, Ryan Dunn and the Misfits before retiring from performing in December 2011 to battle accelerated phase bone marrow cancer. but remained prolific in the studio, producing no less than six full length cd's between 2012 and his death. In 2009, Lieberman signed a multi-album deal with Jewish indie label JDub Records, taking the place of Matisyahu on their artist roster. As of the spring of 2011, Lieberman, a town comptroller by trade, was \"the world’s only orthodox Jewish heavy metal musician with a record deal\", according to Newsday.Lieberman's 2010 song \"No Festival of Lights (On This Hanukkah)\" has received honorable mention placement in the Song of the Year Award Although Lieberman's music seemingly had little commercial success,sales of his first 24 records topped 100,000 in 13 years and he received airplay on Rich Russo's free-form Anything Anything with Rich Russo radio show on New York City WRXP 101.9 and WDHA-FM 105.5 commercial rock radio stations. Throughout the shows Lieberman's music was featured on, Russo described him as \"Jethro Tull meets the Beastie Boys, a one-man Jethro Tull\" as well as \"an inspiration to all suffering from serious illness\" Additionally, Lieberman enjoyed some success on college radio, where The Rabbi Is Dead peaked at #3 on KZSU Stanford University in 2012 and \"Jewish Pirate\" had a one-week appearance at #8 on WUSB (FM)Stony Brook University two years after release in 2008 . Steve Lieberman was the subject of three three-hour-long radio specials on Stony Brook University Radio WUSB (FM), one in 2009,celebrating the release of the \"Diaspora\" album and one in 2008 after the release of his Psych Ward album. At the end of 2014, simultaneously with the release of his 22nd cd Cancer Ward Lieberman was invited back to WUSB to speak candidly about his career, future and fight with cancer as well as to perform live songs from Cancer Ward. The event was promoted by the station as \"The Return of the Gangsta Rabbi\" as few believed Lieberman will ever produce music again as his leukemia worsened. At the end of the show, Lieberman said that if his strength holds up, during 2015, he will release a third charitable covers album to be titled \"Return of The Jewish Pirate\". Between January and April 2015, he recorded 77 tracks, which will be released as a 4-cd set in the spring of 2015 and all gross proceeds will be donated to animal rescue and leukemia research causes.Additionally, two of his recent songs, \"I'm Not a White Boy\" and \"Obama-Rama, Yeah!\", both held the #1 spot on the SoundClick Global Alternative genre chart. In the spring of 2013, as his cancer progressed to myelofibrosis leukemia, Lieberman took the now obscure biblical Nazarite vow for life. In the fall of that year, he had announced plans for a final album to be called Cancer Ward which was released on 30 December 2014. It is a concept album, dealing with Lieberman's six-month-long chemotherapy treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, the third consecutive course of treatment which failed to suppress his disease's progression. The repeating theme of Cancer Ward is Steve Lieberman, living on borrowed time with a resistant uncurable cancer, while always contemplating his imminent, early demise. Lieberman took a full year to finish \"Cancer Ward\" because of frequent hospitalization as the leukemia progressed to mid-stage 3 with high risk myelofibrosis.".
