Israelis Seeking Country Music Find it in Nefesh Mountain


Today we're sharing another episode of Jewish Country with Israelis Oriel and Lior filming and talking their way through a road trip across the American heartland looking for unexpected Jewish connections in flyover country. 
 
In today's episode, they travel to Memphis, Tennessee, where they connect with the Jewish bluegrass band called Nefesh Mountain.

We've posted some of Nefesh Mountain's music before, but in today's post they perform a bluegrass concert a the Levitt Shell Amphitheater in Memphis, Tennessee. 

Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff, founders of Nefesh Mountain, explain how they infuse the bluegrass country sound with elements of klezmer, Jewish, Hebrew music, and the pride of being Jewish Americans.

Enjoy!
