Eef Barzelay is an American musician, born in Tel Aviv, Israel. Most notably known as the principal songwriter and singer of alt country band Clem Snide, he has performed in a number of Boston-based bands, as well as toured as a solo act, both as headliner and as international support for artists such as Ben Folds.

Barzelay grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey.

Accessed May 12, 2008. "Clem Snide's Eef Barzelay has a dry voice and an even drier wit. Barzelay was born in Israel, raised in Teaneck, New Jersey, and did time studying jazz at Berklee before dropping out to start a noise-rock band named for the talking asshole in William Burroughs's Naked Lunch."]

In 2006 Barzelay released his debut solo album entitled "Bitter Honey". In 2007 he composed many original tracks for the film "Rocket Science". Barzelay's second solo album, "Lose Big", was released on June 17, 2008 on 429 records.
