Shir Appeal
Shir Appeal is Tufts University’s only co-ed Jewish a cappella group. Founded in 1995 with assistance from the Jewish Agency, Shir Appeal is one of the nation’s oldest collegiate Jewish a cappella groups. The group sings music from a wide range of genres, including Israeli rock and pop, traditional and liturgical Jewish songs, Jewish world music, and English music with strong Jewish themes. Though based at Tufts University outside Boston, Shir Appeal has gone on tour to numerous areas in the United States, including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Chicago, as well as the New England and the Boston areas. Shir Appeal has been on Best of College a Cappella (BOCA) four times. It was the first non-secular a cappella group to be recognized on BOCA,〔http://repository01.lib.tufts.edu:8080/fedora/get/tufts:UP029.021.034.00006/bdef:TuftsPDF/getPDF〕 and the only Jewish group to have ever been featured on it.〔“These guys have been making amazing albums for ever, and actually, are the only Jewish group to have appeared on the best of collegiate a cappella compilation, which is not just Jewish groups, or course...” (Episode 8 of The Kol Cast)〕
==History==
The group was founded in 1995 by Liz Perlman, Jenn Madan, and Jessica Cooper. It is formally a student group at Tufts University Hillel, and the presidency of the group is a position on the Hillel student board. In the same year it was founded, Shir Appeal hosted a Jewish A Cappella festival at Tufts University. Shir Appeal was the first group to have an album produced by John Clark, himself a graduate of the Tufts Amalgamates. Many of Shir Appeal’s early arrangements were composed by John Clark ("Laila Tov Europa", "Yamei Hatom"), as well as members of the Tufts Beelzebubs. Being at Tufts, a “fertile crescent” of a cappella, Shir Appeal quickly gained expertise in all aspects of a cappella. Tufts’ University president, Lawrence Bacow (2001–2011) also hosted the group on numerous occasions at the president’s house (Gifford House) on the Tufts Campus. Shir Appeal also is a regular participant at an annual Jewish A Cappella festival at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, held in February. The group does not participate in competitions, but has received praise from the Recorded A Cappella Review Board (RARB) for its CDs.
