Jacob’s Ladder

​Join us on March 27, 2025 for our next Soul Sounds concert featuring Jacob’s Ladder, an internationally touring band pushing 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.

The band’s 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 2024 appearance at Ashkenazfest, 2023 Bay Area tour, Nashville’s 2nd Annual NashFest, and have headline for 3 years in a row at Portsmouth’s Jewish Arts and Music Fest. 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.
