Hebbie Jeebies at CBGB's: A Secret History of Jewish Punk
Chigaco Review Press
When: Sun., March 22, 4-7 p.m. 2026
This program examines a surprising and powerful cultural intersection: Jewish identity, punk rock, and Holocaust memory. Inspired by Steven Lee Beeber’s critically acclaimed The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s: A Secret History of Jewish Punk, the evening traces how themes of alienation, resilience, satire, and survival—so often tied to the Jewish experience—found their voice in the raw, rebellious energy of punk. Then stick around for an essential punk set by Tampa legends Black Valley Moon. Guests will enjoy complimentary beer and snacks.
