Sting-A-Bee-Back Records is proud to present the debut recording of Rabbi David Meyer & Jon Nelson, entitled This One At Last. This is an album of new, original, contemporary Jewish music, much of which is sung in Hebrew, and highlights the blending of these two remarkable voices. David and Jon, between them, have several decades of combined experience on the International Jewish Music scene. While singing and leading prayer together for the past few years at Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead, Massachusetts, David and Jon have forged an organic sound that's fresh & innovative. Their original compositions and liturgical settings have been lauded as "a bright new light in the Contemporary Jewish genre" with tight harmonies and a warm, inviting delivery, reminiscent of the early work of Simon & Garfunkel. | |
Prior
to pursuing his career as a rabbi, DAVID MEYER was one of the best
known performers on the American Jewish music scene. He received his

decade as Music Director at the American Jewish University's
Brandeis-Bardin Campus in Southern California. There he was a music
teacher and songleader at the on-site Camp Alonim, Brandeis Collegiate
Institute, and House of the Book. David has travelled the United States
and Israel performing and teaching in a wide variety of settings the
songs of both contemporary and classic Jewish folk music, and his
original works were featured in a concert video on the Jewish
Television Network. For the past twenty-one years, David has served as
