Cedars of Lebanon

Cedars of Lebanon is the musical project of Josh Engelson, whose songwriting weaves a rich narrative of spiritual journeys and personal reflection. Drawing on formative experiences from Brooklyn and travels through Israel, Engelson crafts music that resonates with existential depth while retaining an inviting, sunlit warmth. The songs evoke a unique atmosphere—merging introspection with optimism—resulting in a catalogue that effortlessly bridges New York’s introspective winters and the radiant promise of Los Angeles summers.

Since 2023, Cedars of Lebanon has released a series of thoughtful singles, including “Blue Street California”, “Tower of Gold”, “Colorful World”, and “Moishe’s Not a Tree”. Each track captures a distinctive blend of lyricism and musicality, marked by Engelson’s reflective approach and intuitive artistry. The single “Bowl of Oats”, releasing in July 2025, continues this trajectory, offering listeners an authentic glimpse into his ongoing creative evolution.

On the live music front, Cedars of Lebanon is set to support headliner MARYSGARDEN at the Master Rhythm 10 Year Anniversary concert at O2 Academy2 Oxford in October 2026, sharing the stage with other compelling acts. For those seeking genuine lyricism and evocative melodies, Cedars of Lebanon stands out in the contemporary music scene.
