"Introspective lyrics and world class musicianship”  American Songwriter 

 

The New York based Progressive Americana group Nefesh Mountain Band has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music. The band's creators, Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff have created a sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana, Bluegrass, Folk, Jazz and Blues infused with Jewish tradition. For them the music is wholly American, freely expressing their own identities while at the same time addressing many prominent issues that still trouble America and the world today.
