A Father & Son Journey Through Music. An intimate evening of song, soul, and shared legacy.

Jai Uttal – vocals, harmonium, guitar & banjo

Ezra Uttal – grand piano, keyboards

Eclectic. Heart-opening. Unforgettable.

Jai Uttal is a Grammy-nominated composer, musician, singer, and kirtan artist, as well as a pioneer in World Spirit Music.

Infused with the rhythms and melodies of East Indian folk and classical music, Jai’s sound also weaves elements of rock, jazz, reggae, and Appalachian ballads, creating a unique and deeply emotive musical experience.

Since his teenage years, Jai has traveled extensively through India, where he encountered remarkable saints, musicians, and, most significantly, his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. These experiences led him to embrace devotional chanting as the heart of his spiritual practice.

Over the past five decades, Jai has released more than 21 albums, each reflecting his inner journey on the path of Bhakti (devotion). Through his multi-textured and cross-cultural music, he has traveled the world, creating sacred and welcoming spaces where people can open their hearts and voices in collective celebration.

Ezra Uttal is a rising Latin Jazz musician, shaped by a rich musical upbringing with his father, Jai Uttal, and Brazilian mother. Trained in piano by Tom Finch and a graduate of the Musicians Institute in LA, Ezra draws inspiration from legends like Chick Corea, Willie Colón, and Aretha Franklin, blending global sounds into his fresh, soulful style.
