About Jacob’s Ladder
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 and 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 songs. 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 Ashkenaz. 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.
Boston’s Jacob’s Ladder is steeped in Jewish spiritual and musical traditions, but it is also a topdrawer picker of bluegrass and American roots music. Their unique approach to blending these seemingly disparate influences is authentic, soulful and exciting.
