Kelly Clarkson to Israel: I’m on my way!

Everyone loves Kelly Clarkson. For an American Idol, Kelly has had an immense amount of success in these here parts. It certainly hasn’t hurt that her guitarist has local flavor. Danny Weissfeld is a Kfar Saba native and proud to represent Israel to the throngs of Kelly Clarkson fans worldwide.
According to Israeli daily Ma’ariv (Hebrew link), Kelly will be heading to these parts in March.
As told in an interview with ISRAEL21c:

“It’s kind of fasciniating for Americans when they find out I’m Israeli,” says Weissfeld. “I get a lot of questions about the army – and what’s going on in Israel. People watch CNN and they think it’s a war zone. A lot of people have actually gone on trips to Israel because of me – sometimes I feel like an ambassador,” he adds with a smile.

I’d take being an ambassador of rock over a consulate position any day of the week!

Listen to an interview with Weissfeld recorded last Passover over at the Israelisms podcast.
