New music: Ted Pearce - Ancient Gates

-

 Shalom dear Chavah listeners,

Fresh new Messianic music on the station, contributed by our dear friend and longtime Messianic artist, Ted Pearce. ♥

Ted Pearce - Ancient Gates


This is Ted's 11th (!) record/LP. His songs have become staples of the modern Messianic movement, played everywhere in our congregations and beloved by many. His music is some of the highest rated music on Chavah, so I know you fine folks love his works for the Lord.

Ted gives some background on this new 7 song album:

I can remember the joy I felt the first time I heard these songs. People were dancing and singing and enjoying each other. These seem like standards that every Jewish congregation would know, but I had never heard them before at age 29. 
In 2021, I began studying to be an audio engineer and chose these songs for my “work project” to learn that skill. Then, during the “Long Tour 2022” across the western USA, I recorded a few friends along the way and added them to these recordings. By October, the Long Tour 2022 arrived in L.A. and was ready for Cyamak Ashtiani @Northridge Studio to mix it. 
This project is dedicated to my mom, Betty Ames, and to the ladies who taught me these songs - Deanne Joseph and Elizabeth Schiller. May everyone be blessed by the hearing of these ancient songs.

  • Deena Shapiro - vocals - Mana Vu, Lechu Neranena, Hinei Ma Tov
  • Lynn O’Conner McDowell - vocals - Mana Vu, Shalom Medley 
  • Ted Pearce - vocals, bass, keys, acoustic & elec guitars 
  • Will Franke - violins, violas, cellos, sitar 
  • Steve Bagsby - steel guitar 
  • Matt McKeown - drums 
  • Joe McCanna - piano 

I think you'll enjoy this new album for King Messiah, dear listeners. If you do, please support Ted's work for Messiah, please purchase this album for name-your-price. You can also donate to Messiah's Music Fund, which is distributed to all the artists on Chavah including Ted. Thanks for supporting Messiah's musicians, friends! ♥

Aviad Cohen has passed away

Friends, I’m saddened to announce that Messianic musician Aviad Cohen has passed away yesterday, according to a Facebook post from his family. I knew Aviad for many years; he contributed his music to Chavah years ago, and before that, I knew him through my younger brother when the two of them met in person by chance in Jerusalem. Aviad produced 4 albums for God, including 3 techno albums and 1 Scripture reading album: Hooked on the Truth Firestarter Good News to Mission Control Scripturesonics Vol. 1: The Good News Aviad’s last album, Scripturesonics, is a stirring Scripture reading album set to orchestral music. It’s my personal favorite. Aviad made big splashes when he, as a conservative Jew and rapper known as 50 Shekel , came to belief in Yeshua as Israel’s messiah . His public conversion made him a target for anti-missionaries and Jews who considered his belief in Yeshua to be a betrayal of Judaism. At the time of this writing, it's not clear how Aviad died. One friend says

Shalom Chavah fans, I wanted to pass on to you the news of the cancer diagnosis of Rick Coghill , early Messianic music pioneer with the group Lamb: The post reads, Dear Fans and Friends of LAMB, (Picture taken in 1973) Please keep my 20-year partner in Lamb, Rick Coghill, in your prayers. He recently contracted liver cancer and is in hospice with not much time left here on this earth. A brilliant producer and guitarist, his contribution to the Messianic movement through Lamb was priceless. Pray that his passing is peaceful and that the comfort of God permeates all around him. Ps. 23:4 – Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. I consider Lamb to be the pioneer of Messianic music, having produced several albums in the 1970s, trailblazing the genre of Jewish music for Messiah. Personally, I grew up listening to their music and still love it to this day. Their music is some
