Six13 Completes our Thanksgivukkah Roundup with the Thanksgivukkah Anthem
Well, the day we've all waited for is finally here. And after running nine music videos and comedy sketches focusing on the unusual coming together of Thanksgiving and Chanukah, we're saying goodbye to the once in 77,000 year holiday with one last music video. This one is by Six13, the a cappella band that we've featured in previous holiday music videos.
Six13 is a six-man vocal band that brings an unprecedented style of Jewish music to the stage, with songs ranging from hip-hop dance tracks to rock anthems. The members of the New York-based group sound like a full band – while using nothing but their voices.
Six13 has recorded four award-winning albums, whose songs have been played all over Jewish radio and been chosen to appear on nine different “best of” compilation albums. The group has over 20,000 CDs in circulation, and are among the top Jewish music artists on iTunes. They have received several distinctions and accolades from Jewish organizations like the National Council of Young Israel and Moment Magazine, and awards from musical organizations like the Harmony Sweepstakes and the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America.
They have appeared on the Chabad Telethon, and were chosen from hundreds of groups, both Jewish and secular, as finalists in the casting process for NBC’s hit prime-time television series The Sing-Off. The group has also become a viral internet sensation, with over one million views on YouTube.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteNo only do I oppose the co-mingling of these two special celebrations but this song contains a major error. Pheasants are not indigenous to the United States. They were introduced long after the Pilgrims
