Jewish unity through song with Alta Rockers

By Felicia Anchor, Program Committee Member

Alta Rockers shine a light on Jewish singer-songwriters for all to savor. This year’s community-wide singalong will feature extraordinary songs from Jewish singer-songwriters. Many will be familiar but for some the MOT connection may pleasantly surprise you too. (MOT is Members Of the Tribe).

Alta Rockers is a group of vintage men who find fellowship playing music from their youth. Comprising nine guitars, a harmonica and a banjitar, they come together weekly to play, sing, improvise and laugh. Over the past eight years, playing for Jewish and other nonprofits, the experience has become extremely meaningful to all involved.

Alta Rockers pride themselves on curating a growing song catalog that encompasses several musical genres. Members are Founder Don Belmont, Ken Anchor, Ken Brown, Harry Chertok, Buzz Cohn, Andy Ichel, Larry Israelite, Sam Miller, Frank Muller, Randy Solomon and Alex Wertheim.

Please join us for an engaging singalong for the entire family on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025, 4:30 p.m. at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. Words will be displayed to enhance participation. Free admission. Please register at jewishnaples.org so we can plan accordingly.
