About the artist

Joey Weisenberg

Joey Weisenberg writes nigunim, the wordless melodies of Jewish devotional song, and leads prayer with them. His work is less about performance than about what happens in a room when everyone present is singing.

He founded the Rising Song Institute to teach exactly that: how a community finds its own voice rather than listening to someone else's.

“I'm so excited to visit Denver and sing with you all! We'll have lots of time to make really inspirational music together, so come immerse in a musical mikvah, and join me to study techniques of Jewish spiritual music making. Can't wait!”
