Bio
Nonprofit Band is an innovative classic rock band with a twist: replacing an electric guitar, Michael, the lead vocalist plays a violin plugged into an amplifier and pedal effects. The band consists of international musicians Michael Greilsammer, Uriel Sverdin and Ohad Eilam, who have traveled the world with different bands. Its heavy sound is influenced by the legendary rock band, Led Zeppelin . Nonprofit Band's other musical influences include those from countries they've toured such as India, the Caribbean, France, USA and the UK, along with Mediterranean flavors from their motherland, Israel.
