Firehouse Session No. 1

The Visitors & Rabbi Jessica Kate Meyer

While on tour with the Broadway’s The Band’s Visit, four musicians formed a temporary for-The-Kitchen-community-only band called The Visitors, for an eclectic musical collaboration with Rabbi Jessica Kate Meyer & Artist in Residence, Jacob Blumberg. Six songs, one night only, and streamed directly to your living room.
