“Phillip Namanworth's music is a bridge between two worlds - rock n roll, blues and the spirituality of Shabbat, mitzvot and the sheer joy of being alive. He's also one of the funniest people around - a Woody Allen of the music scene!” Many people would think that the music world is separate from the Torah world. Phillip Namanworth has proven that the opposite is true. Namanworth has a distinguished musical career as a singer/songwriter. He has written songs for movies, cabaret, and theater and was the pianist for the original Broadway productions of Superstar and The Rocky Horror Show. His music and lyrics have appeared on award winning television productions, such as Saturday Night Live, Nickelodeon’s Rugrats, and Sesame Street. Phillip is an accomplished blues/rock musician who has worked with noted pop acts Roberta Flack, Ry Cooder, Kenny Vance, and Elliot Randall. In more recent years, Namanworth has integrated his musical flair with his spiritual journey into Judasim. In his own original style, Namanworth integrates heaven and earth, fusing the ancient wisdom of the sages with the rhythm and blues of the soul. He invites the audience on a journey offering a subtle taste of magic in a non-judgmental and non-intrusive way. Phillip juggles various musical styles with his own brand of humor, allowing our souls to fly higher… Phillip also serves as a mentor to many people
in their Torah studies. He hosts a weekly Torah class and works
for Rabbi Simon Jacobson as the Assistant Director of The Meaningful
Life Center. Philip is currently composing music for a play called
“The Journey of The Baal Shem Tov” about the founder of the
Chassidic movement, with book and lyrics by Benjamin Goldstein. He
is also working on a show with Elliot Finkel about a famous- infamous
nineteenth century female writer. |
