About this concert
Here's something we hope you'll find refreshing: an evening of heartfelt, joyful, thoughtful music and film. Tune out your newsfeed for a moment and tune into some new stirring sounds to nourish your soul.
We’re thrilled to invite you to a special live event: a sneak preview of the work-in-progress and unreleased short film, Becoming Beacons: In the Studio with Nefesh Mountain. Go behind the scenes to see what happens when two musician parents and their toddler go to Nashville to make an album in the historic Sound Emporium recording studio. The band granted the filmmakers all access, revealing the ups and downs of parenting, marriage, and more. Join us for a sonic journey of these times through the eyes of a married Jewish couple trying to make sense of this world.
Then join bandleaders Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg, with film codirector Adam Mazo, for the Q&A

Nefesh Mountain Biography
“A Masterclass in string music, A Powerhouse Unit”
- Rolling Stone
“Thoughtful, introspective lyrics and world-class musicianship.. forging new paths in the grand ol’ world of bluegrass”
- American Songwriter
- “The sound is crisp, clear and magical.. the music is perfection”
No Depression
New York based Progressive Americana band Nefesh Mountain has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music. The band's creators and dynamic husband and wife team of Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff have created a world and sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana, Bluegrass, Folk, Jazz and Blues with a masterful hand as songwriters, instrumentalists and composers alike. The band, declared “A Powerhouse Unit” by Rolling Stone and "Introspective lyrics and world class musicianship” by American Songwriter, takes the listener on a deeply personal journey that embodies their own wild nature and unbridled free spirits, bridging compositional prowess and prolific songwriting with deft instrumentals and jams.
Since their formation nearly a decade ago, Nefesh Mountain has been proudly open and vocal about their background and heritage as Jewish Americans, and are among the first preeminent Americana / Bluegrass bands to infuse Jewish tradition and soul into the beautifully diverse tapestry of American roots music. For them the music is wholly American, freely expressing their own identities while at the same time addressing the hate, discrimination, anti-semitism and racism that still remains at large in America and the World today.
The band has recorded and shared the stage with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bryan Sutton, John Doyle, Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers), Mark Schatz (Bèla Fleck, Nickel Creek), Mike Gordon (Phish) and Tony Trischka among others. The Troubadours along with their band continue to forge new paths in unknown territory, armed with Zasloff and Lindberg’s strong, smokey, and folksy vocals and Lindberg’s soulful and masterful skills on guitars and banjo alike.
