Who is this Ivri Lider?

I mentioned that I had coffee with Ivri Lider when I was in Israel. I had to get out my smelling salts to wake up Israelis after I told them we'd met via Twitter. But for the non-Israelis in the room, erm, blogosphere, you might want to know who this Ivri is. Good thing you asked.

He's a wonderful person and a great singer. He's also getting ready to release his first English language CD, so you should get to know him before the CD drops. Here's an interview that my friend Leah Stern did with him for Israel 21C.
