SUMMARY:MUSIC | Jewish Country Music Artist: Joe Buchanan + The Family Band
DESCRIPTION:Jewish country music artist Joe Buchanan and his band deliver a boot-stomping\, backyard boogying joyous evening of country ballads\, connection\, healing and celebration. Featuring line dancing with Seattle’s Boot Boogie Babes. \n \nJewish Country Music: What Now? Texas-born and river-raised\, Joe Buchanan makes country music that is steeped in Jewish spirituality and steeped in Torah. Grounded in the idea that there is always room at the table\, his music highlights the values\, faith and history of the Jewish people—stories about struggles and triumphs of the human spirit. \nRaised with one foot in Houston and the other in the Texas Hill Country\, Buchanan grew up swinging off ropes on the Frio River and spending time like any kid—trying to figure out what was what. About 13 years into his marriage\, his wife discovered she was Jewish and their family started down a path of that changed everything. In the ten years since his conversion\, this Jewish country artist from Houston\, TX\, truly found his voice. After joining the Tribe\, Buchanan released his debut album\, Unbroken\, and in 2020 his second\, Back From Babylon. Info: joebuchananmusic.com \nNew Album “Heaven & Earth”: Why make this music now? “One of the most incredible things about making music has been how folks have opened up about their struggles in faith\, relationships or their Jewish experience\, and how a song or a service helped them find some healing\,” says Buchanan. His new album\, Heaven and Earth\, is heavily inspired by the joy of being together and in those quiet moments where we find connection to others\, to a higher being and to ourselves. Plus: it’s simply great country music to listen to and dance to in your backyard with good friends—songs that open doors to celebration. \n  \nFeaturing Boot Boogie Babes Line Dance Lesson + Performance: Seattle’s Boot Boogie Babes have choreographed a line dance to “Good Times\,” a feature track on Buchanan’s new album (see instruction videos below)—so everyone will be ready to boogie with them in their seats during their performance. Get ready for your boot-stomping\, honkey-tonk\, flash-mob moment!
