Joe Buchanan
Episode 16
Thursday, 30 July, 2026
Country music and Judaism may seem like an unlikely pairing—but for singer-songwriter Joe Buchanan, they’ve become one extraordinary calling. A Texas-born musician, Buchanan began exploring Judaism after discovering his wife’s Jewish heritage. Since converting to Judaism, he has forged a unique musical path, blending authentic Texas country with Jewish faith, tradition and joy. Join Buchanan for a conversation about his spiritual journey, how Judaism transformed his life and songwriting, his mission to bring Jewish joy through music, and his latest album, Heaven & Earth. In conversation with Joe Alterman, executive director of Neranenah.
