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

We are four guys who by all counts have limited free time to sing...but decided we wanted to sing together anyway...because we 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 making chords together was magical. After positive audience responses from our first performances in 2010, we have decided to continue singing together. Our repertoire is varied and we would love to sing for your group or event.

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.
