Jeremiah Lockwood

Jeremiah Lockwood is a scholar and musician, working in the fields of Jewish studies, performance studies and ethnomusicology. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at UCLA. His work engages with issues arising from peering into the archive and imagining the power of “lost” forms of expression to articulate keenly felt needs in the present. His first book, Golden Ages: Hasidic Singers and Cantorial Revival in the Digital Era, came out with University of California Press in 2024. Jeremiah was a 2023-24 UPenn Katz Center Fellow, where he conducted research on early 20^th century women cantors and worked on developing his second book on gramophone era cantorial culture. He has recorded more than a dozen albums over a music career that spans decades, with his band The Sway Machinery and other projects.
