Rick Recht
Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Recht developed a strong Jewish identity attending Traditional Congregation, a conservative synagogue, and later, in high school, joined NFTY, where he was deeply influenced by Jewish music. After graduating USC (Los Angeles, CA) and Music Institute (Hollywood, CA), Recht hit the road, performing at a variety of venues from clubs to amphitheaters. His recent shift to Jewish music marks the birth of a unique blend of pop, radio-friendly music with Hebrew, Jewish text, and social responsibility. Already, Recht is widely recognized for his particular appeal to younger crowds as a powerful musician, singer/songwriter, entertainer, and role model. He has been commissioned to write theme songs for camps, Jewish special-interest groups, and synagogues where his original music appears in services and songbooks. Recht is currently the Artist in Residence at United Hebrew Congregation in St. Louis, Missouri. Rechtês songwriting combined with his trademark high-energy live show has drawn comparisons to acts such as Dave Matthews Band, Indigo Girls, Craig Taubman, and David Broza.
The Hope, Rick Recht's long awaited live CD. It is jam packed with the energy and melodies that have made him the act to watch in Jewish music.
