Eclectic Kids' Music: Kaplan & Schorr

Friday January 27, 2012

nullLookin' for some new kids' music sounds to lay on your bored-of-the-mainstream ears? Dig these two musicians and their unique take on music for families: Randy Kaplan takes the folkie storyteller route, while Dan Schorr brings the Bakersfield country rock vibe to the table.

Kaplan's Five Cent Piece and Schorr's Every Word I Say is True are both gems in their own right, and both offer a treasure trove of influences for listeners to mine. And they both happen to be Brooklyn boys!

Farmer Jason Brings the Country!

Saturday January 21, 2012

nullAre you ready for the country? Former Jason and The Scorchers head honcho Jason Ringenberg jumped into the kids' music arena a few years ago as Farmer Jason, and his first two albums for children and their families retain The Scorchers' alt country rockin' twang, while including kid-sized humor and a gentle sense of wonder.

2003's A Day at the Farm with Farmer Jason and 2006's Rockin' the Forest with Farmer Jason are silly, rambunctious, catchy musical adventures with Jason and friends, including guest stars like Webb Wilder, Todd Snyder, and Tahra Dergee, star of Nashville Public Television's Tahra Time.
