An Evening with MATISYAHU

April 20, 2026 PURCHASE TICKETS HERE  Doors 7pm/ Show 8pm Ages: 12+ There is a spirit that hovers above the waters. It has been here since the beginning of creation, yet it is just being born. Ancient Child is Matisyahu’s 8th full length studio album. In Jewish mysticism, eight is the number beyond the natural cycle of the physical world.  As Matisyahu brings forth his eighth studio album, the Ancient Child simultaneously reaches back in time and towards the future, in search of the infinite divine light of redemption. Here, Matisyahu finds himself reconnected with his Jewish identity and spirituality in a world post October 7th. In a climate that has become obsessed with being “right” and defending its ego at all costs, the Ancient Child investigates questions about history, identity and destiny from the humility of a child through the wisdom of the of generations’ past. While Matisyahu had shifted his focus over the last decade to his personal life from his religion, Ancient Child is a strong return to his love for Judaism and the deep existential quest to find universal meaning in the darkness.So what does Matisyahu come up with? When the world turns to darkness, humanity has a choice – hide in a corner or meet at the crossroads and find a way to come together. As Matisyahu sings in “Find A Way” I’m at the crossroads if you wanna partake But make no mistake If you participate There’s no one you can escape Pontificate upon it And get caught in a maze Of confuse-ment… …I’ll Find a Way It’s hard work, but when we unite, the entire world is forever changed for the better.  From here the Ancient Child is born. From here the humility of the child and the wisdom of the elders offer a glimpse at a redemptive future. The music on this album is not reggae. It’s not rock. It’s not hip hop. Yet it will be called all these things. Like Matisyahu, and the world he tries to create lyrically, it is a melding of various styles and sounds that have been influential from a universe of music the singer has absorbed through more than twenty years as a recording and touring Artist. As a true artist, Matisyahu is not concerned with reproducing the sounds of a specific genre but only interested in what moves the emotion and prepares the runway for his concepts to be cleared for landing. He writes from his experiences about hopes, challenges and fears. Authenticity is always at the core.   In a reference the album’s title, Matisyahu presents a meditation on Jewish history, his own role as a father, and his yearning for a better future, where the metaphorical sun/son comes up to move beyond the limitations.
