Kishkapella is an acapella quartet, consisting of vocalists Mark Stanton, Bob Weiner, David Epstein and Kirk Anderson.

We are four guys who really like each other and love ringing chords. We first got together in early 2010 to see if we liked our sound and discovered that our chords were magical. We have enjoyed entertaining audiences for two years. Our repertoire is varied and we would love to sing for your group or event. Selections include jazz, classic rock, comedy, show tunes, patriotic, barbershop tunes and more. Our selections include: Who Put the Bomp, Java Jive, When I fall in Love, Beach Boys Medley, God Bless America, Bach melody, the Star Spangled Banner, Exodus, Can you feel the Love Tonight, Follow The Flag, Overture, The Lion Sleeps Tonight and Lida Rose.

What, you may ask, does “kishka” mean? In cooking terminology, “kishka” refers to beef or fowl intestine stuffed with flour, onion, and more; and then boiled and roasted. However, the secondary meaning comes from the Yiddish and Russian languages; meaning “gut” or “soul”. So after you hear us, you can decide for yourself if it sounds as if Kishkapella sings from its proverbial gut or soul.
