Shawn’s Kugel was formed in the 1997 and has performed all over the NorthWest in festivals and simcha’s. We are considered the premier Jewish band in the Northwest. In 2007, we were voted Seattle’s best Jewish Band by the readers of JT News. Shawn Weaver is the leader of the band and played woodwinds/mandolin with the Mazeltones for 9 years. The band has released 4 CD’s: “Simcha!”, “Most Precious of Days” and “Finger Play” and the most recent “Odyssey”.
Kugel performs not only Klezmer & Sephardic, but also contemporary Chassidic, Reggae, Jazz and some Rock & Roll. We pride ourselves on our musicianship and our ability to provide the ultimate simcha. Shawn organizes and teaches traditional dances at each performance. Shawn also writes a personal composition for some events, (As time permits) which is framed and presented to the Chosen/Kalle and or Bar/Bat.
