Women's Inspirational Conference

NESHAMA'S sound reflects the beauty of the Adirondacks where they grew up. They presently live in Nashville, TN.
Their high energy music & instrumentals consist of bluegrass/ country/Christian & Americana (with Celtic overtones). "Neshama," the Hebrew word for "soul" is derived from the Genesis account of creation, when God breathed "neshama" into man, giving him life. Neshama hopes to bring life to everyone who hears their music. Neshama has performed at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN and won the 2017 National Talent Showcase for the Inspirational Country Music Association.
