Jeremiah Lockwood

Jeremiah Lockwood is a scholar and musician, working in the fields of Jewish studies, performance studies and ethnomusicology. He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University. 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. He has recorded more than a dozen albums over a music career that spans decades, with his band The Sway Machinery and other projects. He is currently developing his second book, a history of the cantorial gramophone era, and recently co-founded (with Judith Berkson) Khazones Underground, a record label and cultural organization dedicated to uplifting voices of cantorial revival.
