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 B.A. in Music from the University of Kansas, and then spent more than a 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 Senior Rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead, MA.

Rhode Island resident JON NELSON has been a staple in Jewish music for over 15 years. In addition to founding the ground-breaking, Jewish rock band, Yom Hadash, Jon is also an acclaimed children's entertainer & educator, both as a solo artist and as a member of the children's rock band Jon Nelson's Rockin' Kids Revue. Jon has performed close to 1,000 concerts for audiences of all ages; his music can be heard on radio rotations in the USA, Canada, Israel and beyond. Prior to this new partnership with David Meyer, Jon has released seven CDs with music that crosses genres and boundaries.

Each CD is packaged in a (relatively) environment-friendly cardboard case with a minimum of plastic.
