In addition to introducing our readers to new comedians, from time to time we've been doing the same for new musical groups and highlighting some of their songs.
Today we're showcasing the songs of Shir Soul, a wedding band and a cappella singing group founded in 2005 by David Ross.
With their eclectic mix of Jewish rock, pop, and soul music, Shir Soul has recorded a few albums and plays at weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and other occasions with musical instruments or a cappella.
As we welcome Shabbat tonight, let's listen to one of the familiar renditions of Adon Olam, but with Shir Soul's unique a cappella styling.
Enjoy and Shabbat shalom!

Peat Seeger could not have done better, although I have heard the version done by the Weavers. This is quite different, but, very enjoyable. I have heard this prayer sung to everything from traditional melodies to Scarbourough fair. As long as we keep singing it, I couldn't care less. Let the rappers and hip-hoppers sing it.
