Bruce Burger (born July 11, 1957, Utica, New York), known by his stage name RebbeSoul, is an American singer, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer.

However, Burger developed a love of the guitar, inspired by the likes of Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Martin Barre, Pete Townshend, and Eric Clapton.

Burger left New York at 22 and moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as a session musician for various artists, including country singer Barbara Mandrell, and provided music for shows like Baywatch and Cristal.

Moved by the traditional prayers and melodies, Burger felt he had "found [his] sound" and decided to start a career in Jewish music.

[2][5] The following year, assembling a band of non-Jewish musicians he knew from his session work, he released his debut album, the self-titled RebbeSoul.

[6] RebbeSoul attracted the attention of Sonoma-based jazz label Global Pacific, which released Burger's 1995 follow-up, Fringe of Blue.

[6][7] Burger formed the world music band Common Tongue in 1999 with percussionist Cassio Duarte, keyboardist Steve Carter, drummer Joel Alpers, bassist Dennis "Deep Den" Smith, and singer Neeyah Lynn Rose.

[4][11] Later in the year, he produced a series of songs for Christian Arab oud player George Simaan, including a version of "Erev Shel Shoshanim", with Levi and Yuval Banay of Mashina contributing Hebrew vocals.
