Jacob’s Ladder is an internationally touring band seeking to push the boundaries of contemporary Jewish music and traditional American Roots music through Jewish communal singing and prayer. In melding these two musical worlds, they tell their story through Eastern European Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jewish traditions, but also through their American heritage and its influence on their unique musical style. Their debut album “Beit El”, explores genre-bending across choral and cantorial traditions finding their way into communal prayer, rock, West-African styles, bluegrass, and American folk song. Jacob’s Ladder has been performing coast to coast, highlighted by their 2023 Bay Area tour, Nashville’s 2nd Annual NashFest, and Toronto as a part of the Ashkenazfest Summer Concert Series. They have performed and offered residencies to dozens of Jewish communities nationally, and continue to shed light on the conversation of identity, particularly regarding what it means to be an American Jew.
