The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust has announced a new concert series, Modern Jewish Sounds, featuring contemporary Jewish musicians performing in the Museum’s Edmond J. Safra Hall.
The third concert will be when the Jake Sherman Dream Band takes the stage. Born in Boston, Jake Sherman learned classical piano by listening to his father play Bach every morning. If not for an intervention – stumbling upon the catalog of Weird Al Yankovic – he would have followed in his father’s path or perhaps become a jazz purist. Fast forward some years, and it’s clear Jake has found a way to combine his appreciation of great songwriting with his piano/organ-playing prowess. He has become a go-to musician on recordings and tours for artists including Meshell Ndegeocello, Bilal, Emily King, Blood Orange, Benny Sings, Doyle Bramhall II, Gabriel Garzon-Montano, Andrew Bird, and Nick Hakim. His most recent album, Jake Sherman Gests Sexy, is a journey through modern dating and relationships, with a point of view that is somehow both poignant and Weird Al-esque.
