About Rick Recht

Rick Recht Bio.

Rick Recht is the top-touring musician in Jewish music playing over 150 concerts a year in the United States and abroad.  Recht is widely recognized for his appeal to youth and family audiences not only as an exceptional musician, singer/songwriter, and entertainer, but also as a role model for involvement in Jewish life.  He has become an icon for Jewish youth in the United States, elevating the medium of Jewish music as a powerful and effective tool for developing Jewish pride and identity among the masses.  Recht is the national music spokesman for The PJ Library and the Executive Director of Songleader Boot Camp, a national leadership development immersion program held annually in St. Louis, MO.  Recht is also the founder and Executive Director of Jewish Rock Radio, (501c3), the first high-caliber, 24/7, Jewish rock internet radio station.  Jewish Rock Radio broadcasts contemporary Jewish rock music, interviews with Jewish celebrities, and interviews featuring youth from communities around the world speaking about exciting experiences they have had engaging in Jewish life.  Jewish Rock Radio can be found at www.jewishrockradio.com and is also available through free apps for iPhone and Android mobile devices. 

Recht’s electrifying live performances fueled by Dennis Stringfield on drums and Shlomo Ovadya on bass guitar have captured the hearts of a generation of fans discovering the inspiration of contemporary Jewish music.  Recht is known for regularly featuring local musicians, choirs, and vocal soloists on stage with the band during his concerts and religious services.  Check out Rick Recht tour dates: www.rickrecht.com/tour.  Recht has launched unprecedented tours playing at Jewish day and overnight camps from coast to coast including Ramah, URJ, BBYO, JCC and private camps garnering a feverish following among the national Jewish youth movements unseen in previous years. “The stage is definitely our home,” says Recht. “The energy and voices of the audiences, whether they’re little kids, teens or adults, are indescribable. That’s the magic of Jewish music - the interaction, the singing, the dancing, and the powerful community connection. For me, it’s a dream come true to create and share in these powerful experiences.”  Highlights over the last several years include performances at the NFTY National Convention, BBYO International Convention, URJ Biennial, USY International Convention, CAJE, Hillel Leaders Assembly, NAA Conference, BBYO International Staff Conference, CCAR Conference (Central Conference of American Rabbis), ACC Conference (American Conference of Cantors), URJ National Preschool Director’s Conference, and PJ Library children’s concerts across the country. Recht is a regular concert headliner at major national Jewish festivals in cities across the U.S. including Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, and Kansas City.  Recht is also often featured at national leadership and education conferences as a keynote speaker and expert on media, technology, and youth engagement. 

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Recht developed a strong Jewish identity attending Traditional Congregation, a conservative synagogue. In high school, Recht joined NFTY, where he was deeply influenced by Jewish music. After graduating USC (Los Angeles, CA) and Music Institute (Hollywood, CA), Recht hit the road touring nationwide from LA to New York playing at clubs, colleges, and amphitheaters. Recht has shared the stage with national acts such as the Guess Who, Chris Rock, America, Supertramp, Three Dog Night, the Samples, Vertical Horizon, Government Mule (Allman Brothers), and many more. After releasing two critically acclaimed secular albums, Good Thing and Reality, Recht returned to his Jewish roots with his debut Jewish album, Tov, in the summer of 1999.  His shift to Jewish music marks the birth of a unique blend of pop, radio-friendly music with Hebrew, Jewish text, and social responsibility.  Recht is the Artist-in-Residence at United Hebrew Congregation in St. Louis, Missouri and enjoys spending time with his wife, Elisa, 10-year-old son, Kobi, and 7-year-old son, Tal.

About Sheldon Low

Sheldon Low is the newest face in Jewish music performing rock concerts, ‘Light Up Shabbat’ services, and leading Artist-in-Residency weekends in Jewish communities throughout the United States.  Low has an undeniable appeal to youth and family audiences, not only as a musician, singer/songwriter, and entertainer, but most importantly, as a Jewish educator and role model.  Check out Sheldon Low Tour Dates. 

 

“I feel really fortunate to be traveling around the country for the past few years where I’ve met some really incredible people who have inspired me to continue to dedicate my life as a Jewish educator and Jewish musician,” said Low. “Hearing the excitement and voices from the audiences, whether they’re younger or older, is exhilarating. Jewish music is truly amazing and like nothing else I’ve experienced.”  Check out Sheldon's WRITTEN BLOG to hear more personal thoughts from Sheldon...  

Over the last four summers, Low has been a huge hit with teens performing a national summer tour at dozens of Jewish summer camps throughout the country.  Low has also recently been featured as the headliner and head songleader at various national youth group conventions and Jewish festivals. Low is widely known for his exhilarating live shows where he regularly features local musicians, choirs, and soloists on stage during his concerts and services.

Low’s hit debut album, On One Foot (June ’06), on Independent label, Jewish Rock Records, includes a host of special guest vocalists and musicians including Rick Recht, Beth Schaeffer, Hadar Orshalimy, and a choir of BBYO and NFTY teens.  Low’s sophomore album It’s All Challah to Me (Oct ’07) once again captures his ability to create infectiously fun pop songs, this time for a kid audienc
e.  Low’s first Shabbat album,  Light up Shabbat (Oct ‘09), features some of Low’s greatest crafted melodic creations to date.   Low’s newest album, “Look At Me,” a collaboration with The PJ Library and recorded with Rick Recht, boasts incredibly fun songs for young children.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Low is a third generation songleader who from an early age developed a strong Jewish identity attending Solomon Schechter Day School, Camp Ben Frankel, USY, and his synagogue, Brith Sholom Kneseth Israel. Over the years, Sheldon developed a large repertoire and love for Jewish music attending Camp Ben Frankel in Carbondale, IL or as Sheldon calls it, “the singingest camp in the country.” In high school, Low was fortunate to meet and be mentored by nationally touring Jewish artist and owner of Jewish Rock Records, Rick Recht, who continues to deepen Low’s passion for Jewish music and education. After high school, Low earned his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University in Medford, MA.  Nine months after starting work as an engineer, Low was signed to Jewish Rock Records and is currently the Artist in Residence at Barnert Temple in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.
