Jewish Music Series: Scott Gerber: The Singing Jewish Cowboy and The Gravenstein Mandolin Ensemble

  • Schroeder Hall 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

The “Singing Jewish Cowboy,” Scott comes from a secular left-wing Jewish agricultural community near Petaluma, where Yiddish culture and activism for social justice were very important. He has worked in agriculture all his life, mainly on cattle ranches. Sings country, folk and cowboy songs, but Yiddish “shtetl folksongs,” sung to him by his mother and grandmother, are closest to his heart. Accompanies himself on guitar and available for most any venue.
