Bridging The Gap, the second Jewish recording from singer/songwriter Todd Herzog, expands upon his unique style of acoustic, spiritual pop music, with songs meant to blur the line between the spiritual and the secular and "bridge the gap" between religion and spirituality. The music features Todd’s unique versions of traditional liturgy, as well as songs that
capture the spirituality found in everyday moments. The songs also
bridge other gaps, such as those between young and old, between people
of differing ethnic and religious backgrounds, and between heaven and
earth.
Todd Herzog is an artist who takes the raw material
of life experiences and creates soulful, spiritual, acoustic pop music
along the lines of John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and Marc Cohn.
The music is not intended solely as entertainment, but also to promote
healing and change in people’s lives. Todd's songs invite us to slow
down and take a closer look at how the simple choices we make each day
affect the shape of our journeys.
