Matisyahu's unexpected combinations of Jewish faith, Jamaican reggae and rap have always included uplifting inspiration. Joined by The Soul Rebels and GRiZ on Dec. 6 — the fifth night of Hanukkah — all that and more will be on stage for an acoustic celebration of his annual Festival Of Light at Brooklyn Steel.

At the 49th GRAMMY Awards, Matisyahu's 2006 album Youth was nominated for Best Reggae Album. Although he no longer dresses in Hasidic garb, his musical presentation remains always unusual. The night's featured jazz brass ensemble, The Soul Rebels , come from New Orleans and marching band traditions but are also eclectic and consistently unexpected, leading to unusual improvisations with Matisyahu on stage.

GRiZ is also on the bill, the electronic DJ and producer known for his saxophone skills. Combinations of influences, traditions, brass, and funk should be surprising, set in Brooklyn Steel's intriguingly industrial ambience.

Tickets for the Dec. 6 event are available at AXS online. With so many different elements blending organically together, holiday inspiration and good-will are bound to be part of the night's musical flow.
