We are the parents of a little four-year-old boy who LOVES music, so of course it makes sense that we regularly attend concerts in the Boston area. It’s a weekend tradition for us to head out to a children’s concert then go out to lunch at a nearby cafe. It’s great!
We started thinking that we should share our love of music with others by telling you about the musicians and shows and giving you a place to go to find out about upcoming music events. Your kids will have so much fun attending these shows and you’ll be supporting local artists at the same time!
If you have any artists you’d like to add to the site or events you want to see on the calendar, just let us know! Our email is…

We hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Amber,
Thanks for taking the time to write a wonderful review of our American Heroes #3 CD! I really appreciate your help in getting the word out! Please keep in touch. … Thanks, Jonathan Sprout
Hi Amber,
Thank you so much for your great plug of my website. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve had a blast putting it together. I’ve been so lucky to get the support of wonderful musicians and great people in the business.
Thank you again,
Lyn
I heard of it from Debbie Cavalier (Debbie and Friends). It’s really great and best of all, my son loves it!
I know many friends, teachers and fellow concert goers who are raving about an Canadian family entertainer/educator who writes and performs (as “Peter Puffin’s Whale Tales”)… songs that kids AND grown-ups love.
Browsing http://www.puffin.ca, you can tell that he really respects children and the parents/friends that get to listen to these mostly original (and often humorous!) songs about caring for the natural world, peace-building and caring for each other.
His latest album is the best yet! I bought a few to share with friends. Could send you one? Really like your site… as a highly worthwhile source for parents/teachers wishing to tap the power of music for sparking joy and creativity in our youngsters!
Looks like he mostly tours in Canada but has performed internationally, and interest in the Boston area (via a new musical find for your site visitors!) might even inspire a U.S. Tour. Keep up the great work on the web site!
My 4 year old daughter said she likes Hannah Montana music ” because it’s awesome rocking and dancing music”.
Hello there,
I am a Boston area singer/songwriter/educator for children and I really appreciate the link on your great site! I would love to submit my CDs for review. My sixth CD will be coming out this fall. What is my next step?
Thank you so much.

Hey Amber,
I love reading your site, and especially liked Steve Blunt’s new column about music in the classroom. Just wanted you to know that several of us who make music with kids in New England are headed for Black Mountain, North Carolina this weekend for the annual conference of the Children’s Music Network (www.cmnonline.org). It should be lots of fun, meeting musicians from around the country, sharing ideas and playing lots of great music! I’ll send you an update!
Cheers, Liz Buchanan
Sounds like a lot of fun. If you want to write up a summary of the events afterwards I’d love to publish it!

My son is 6years old and loves to dance to highschool musical.
We saw Girl Authority play some Highschool Musical songs this weekend – boy did the kids get excited!
I just heard a new children’s cd by The Mickey Spain Musical Jamboree, and it’s incredible! The songs are all originals… written by Mickey… and they’re unbelievably catchy. I’ve had one called “Barnyard Dance” stuck in my head for two days now! My kids aren’t toddlers (they’re 10 and 11) but they seriously love this cd. I was told the Jamboree was playing in the Boston/New Hampshire area and I was wondering if you’d seen them perform or maybe reviewed their music? They definitely seem like a talented bunch of musicians with a knack for writing songs kids will love!
Hey Amber,
I love what you are doing for children’s music. I’d love to submit my two children’s CD’s for review on your site. I am from New Mexico and have been performing in English and Spanish at schools, libraries and various other events for nearly five years.
Thank you for all that you do to promote music.

Hola and congrats on being a top site on BLOGGED!
Parents and their littles birdies age 1 to 5 are going wild for my new CD, Birdie’s Playhouse: The Wild World of Wildlife. How can I snail mail you a copy?
The CD is spicy (in a Latina sorta way), it features wildlife and is educational while making you want to “Baila like an Iguana.”
tweet tweet, Ole!

Hi Amber,
In my forgetful new mom state, I can’t remember if I already wrote to you, but shame on me if I didn’t. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for including us as one of your favorite performances of 2009, yay! And thank you for writing such a glowing review of us, both for the award article and in November after seeing our show. You’re the best. Thank you for adding your awesome website to the world to support children’s music in the Boston area! If you don’t have my CDs already, let me know, I’d be happy to send them to you (uh, review anyone? : ). I hope to see you and Ivan at a concert soon! Best, Vanessa
