About the Band:

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.  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  "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. If you are contemplating using our band for your simcha, please take a moment to check out Gig reference for band members to check your date against our calendar.

We take requests!
