Bourbon & Bites: Choosing to be Chosen with Artist-in-Residence Joe Buchanan
Saturday, June 7

When Joe Buchanan's wife shared that she was Jewish—years into their marriage—it set them on a journey of exploration, connection, and ultimately, conversion. Joe will share the deeply personal and transformative story of how his family came home to Judaism after that surprising revelation changed everything. This workshop offers a heartfelt look at the joys and challenges of becoming Jewish, the power of identity, and how that journey gave rise to a career in country music and in working with Jewish communities around the country. The session includes time for Q&A.
