**Pico Shul, Happy Minyan and Glaser Musicworks present a Tu B’av Love Fest celebration of uplifting spiritual music from three of the hottest singers on the circuit, Sam Glaser, Nicholas Dean Hylander and Ian Simpson. Rock-pop-world music served up with style, featuring world-class backing musicians Andy Sanesi, Alex Sill and Nick Klingenberg.**

**Sam Glaser's** soulful music is beloved by fans around the globe. His unbridled energy and enthusiasm combines with impeccable musicianship to ignite the spirit of audiences of all ages on his annual tours. Named one of the top ten spiritual artists in the US by Moment magazine, Glaser is equally comfortable behind a keyboard in intimate solo concerts, leading his ten-piece band or headlining with full orchestra. He has appeared at the White House, on Broadway and at such venues as L.A.'s Greek Theater, Music Center, Crypto.com Arena and Dodger Stadium. He has concertized in nearly every North American state and province as well as overseas tours to Australia, Asia, Europe and Israel. Glaser’s best-selling albums include The Songs We Sing, Voice of the Soul, Presence, The Bridge, A Day in the Life and the award-winning children's musical A Voice in the Desert. Sony/JMG Records released his Greatest Hits and Rocking Chanukah Revue and his children’s album Soap Soup won such awards as the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, Parents Choice and the National Association of Parenting Publications. Sam's "#1 Amazon Bestseller in Jewish Life” book, The Joy of Judaism, received accolades from across the denominational spectrum and has been excerpted in countless publications and websites. In addition to the release of his thirty full length albums, he has published collections of lyrics and poetry, seven musicals, sheet music songbooks and an SATB choral book. https://www.samglaser.com/

**Nicholas Dean Hylander** is an operatic tenor with the ability to interpret rock, pop and jazz as well as Latin and American standards. Hylander’s third album, 1948, was released summer of 2024 and is comprised of timeless Israeli songs from the period of the founding of the State seventy-five years ago. This project holds a special place in Nick's heart since he learned these melodies as a child on the lap of his grandpa, Abraham Yarden, who fought in Israel’s War of Independence.

**Ian Simpson|** From Boston to Dallas to Los Angeles, for the past decade Ian Simpson has been bringing his distinct sound to communities across the country. His soulful voice and technical guitar chops breathe a bold life into his compositions and performances. As half of the Jewish music duo Double Chai, Ian and co-writer Jeremy Sipe's melodies are beloved by congregations and camps all over the US. Songs from their upcoming self-titled album, recorded at Sam Glaser Musicworks are bringing a revitalized energy to the Jewish community and beyond.
