SUMMARY:Jacob's Ladder
DESCRIPTION:Jacob’s Ladder\nSunday\, April 19\, 5 PM (Doors at 4:30 PM)\nTickets: $35 in advance\, $40 at the door \nJacob’s Ladder blends bluegrass and Jewish music\, creating a unique sound that brings community\, energy\, and reimagined tradition to performances. \nJacob’s Ladder is 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. 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 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. \nTheir early inspirations were drawn from bluegrass icons such as Tony Rice\, The Bluegrass Album Band\, and Bill Monroe\, as well as original “Jewgrass” musicians from the 70’s and 80’s\, including Andy Statman\, David Grisman\, and Stacy Phillips. Their recent record\, “Beit El”\, takes a step away from the more traditional bluegrass path and taps into multiple different genres\, including rock\, gospel\, and klezmer\, packed with diverse and eclectic vocal and instrumental arrangements. \nWith roots music as the bedrock of their expression and instrumentation\, their melodies and songs are inspired by the likes of Shlomo Carlebach\, Eitan Katz\, Zusha\, Moshav Band\, and Joey Weisenberg and the Hadar Ensemble\, to name a few. \nJacob’s Ladder is rooted in the traditional liturgy that one might find in an Orthodox\, Conservative\, Reform or Traditional Jewish setting. They believe that Jewish liturgical music can expand beyond traditional melodies while maintaining its essence in a traditional prayer structure. Additionally\, they believe in the power of these prayers to have meaning and purpose outside of a prayer setting. These age-old lyrics are at the heart of what makes up their music\, and have been at the forefront of our Jewish story for centuries. \nTheir creative process incorporates different approaches and techniques. While all of their core band members are rooted in their own idiosyncratic musical styles and approaches\, they joyfully approach the challenging process of weaving their stylistic differences into the fabric of new arrangements. Together\, they strive to highlight each of their individual sources of inspiration into their ever-changing and evolving sound. At heart\, Jacob’s Ladder is comprised of bluegrass musicians\, and they center themselves–and thus their new music—in its natural groove and language. \n \nLearn more at jacobsladdermusic.com

SUMMARY:Alexis Chartrand & Nic Gareiss
DESCRIPTION:Alexis Chartrand & Nic Gareiss\nFriday\, April 24 at 8 PM (Doors at 7 PM)\nTickets: $25 \nMelding unparalleled virtuosity with an introspective sensibility\, Nic Gareiss and Alexis Chartrand trace\, with disarming spontaneity\, their path across French Canadian\, Appalachian\, and Irish traditions. Propelled by melodies inherited from Québécois folklore\, the duo explores\, with palpable pleasure\, the sharing of sounds and gestures\, blurring the lines between music and dance\, melody and movement. \nThis concert is a privileged opportunity to witness the contemporaneity of our traditions\, the singular creativity of Nic Gareiss’ flatfooting and step dancing\, and Alexis Chartrand’s unique playing on the baroque violin. \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nMontreal fiddler Alexis Chartrand has traced a singular path across the Québécois traditional music scene. “Known for his pensive reworkings of Québécois fiddle tunes” (Songlines)\, he has pioneered the use of baroque violin and bows for the interpretation of this repertoire. His partnership with multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer Nicolas Babineau has led to the release of three albums and to many concerts in Québec\, Canada\, the United States\, and Sweden. Hailed in 2019 as “two must-hears of Québécois traditional music” (Penguin Eggs)\, their 2024 collaboration with Nicolas Ellis and Orchestre de l’Agora “was a revelation and an intense emotional shock” (Le Devoir). He has explored the connection between music and dance with percussive dancers Nic Gareiss and Antoine Turmine. He has released duo albums with multi-instrumentalists Colin Savoie-Levac and Cédric Dind-Lavoie. Learn more at agchartrand.com \nOne of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch\,” Nic Gareiss has been hailed by the New York Times for his “dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance.” He reimagines movement as a musical practice\, recasting dance as a medium that appeals to both eyes and ears. Gareiss engages many percussive dance traditions\, weaving together a singular dance practice marked by his love of clog\, flatfoot\, and step dance footwork\, improvisation\, and musical collaboration. Gareiss received the 2020 Michigan Heritage Award\, his home region’s highest distinction bestowed on traditional artists. He has performed in seventeen countries\, including at London’s Barbican Centre\, the Irish National Concert Hall\, the Munich Philharmonic\, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He holds an MA in Ethnochoreology from the University of Limerick.
