An Elvis Hanukkah with Shir Soul a Cappella and Key Tov's Elliot Dvorin

Hanukkah is the time of year when all the a cappella and musical groups come out with their annual music videos. It's a special treat when two groups come together to produce an ensemble video.

That's what we're getting this year with Elliot Dvorin, the lead singer of the Key Tov Orchestra joining in with Shir Soul to give us an Elvis Hanukkah.

Shir Soul is a wedding band and a cappella singing group founded in 2005 by David Ross.

With their eclectic mix of Jewish rock, pop, and soul music, Shir Soul has recorded a few albums and plays at weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and other occasions with musical instruments or a cappella.

We really like Elliot Dvorin and his Key Tov orchestra. We've shared a few of their very vibrant and melodic singing and dancing videos. In this video Elliot takes a break from his Chicago-based wedding band to perform with Shir Soul.

This Elvis Hanukkah mashup includes:
“Hanukkah Rock” based on Jailhouse Rock “S’vivon” based on Don’t Be Cruel “All Lit Up” based on All Shook Up “Ma’oz Tzur” based on Love Me Tender “Latke” based on Hound Dog “Al Hanisim” based on Can’t Help Falling in Love

Enjoy!
