CELEBRATING DIFFERENT TRADITIONS

Billy and the Billy Jonas Band LOVE working with different faith communities, especially when it involves more than one religiion at the same time. Their songs are born out of a deep reverence for all expressions of spirituality. They seek to enhance whatever gathering or worship context has invited them, and their programs are tailored to the specific needs and demographics of those present. At the core of each and every event: an acknowledgement of the beauty and wisdom in each separate path, and a celebration of the Oneness connecting them all.

"A Muslim, a Christian and a Jew walk into a concert hall...." For real! Abraham Jam is the brainchild of singer/songwriter and peace activist David LaMotte. Since 2015 Billy has been a member, dedicated to fostering dialogue, understanding, and celebration among folks from the three "Abrahamic" faiths. Each concert and/or workshop features a trio consisting of professional musicians from each tradition. Instead of alternating in the sharing of their songs, they participate in making music together, embodying their respect and affection for each other, rather than just talking about it. Members of Abraham Jam have included Dawud Wharnsby, Dan Nichols, David LaMotte, and Billy. Check out the Abraham Jam website at: http://abrahamjam.com.
