new dan zanes & elizabeth mitchell album this summer- exclusive video!
WOODSTOCK, NY 2013...
Here I am with ELIZABETH MITCHELL AND DANIEL AND STOREY LITTLETON AKA YOU ARE MY FLOWER. It's a perfect April afternoon we're getting a few minutes of sun before returning to continue recording the new CD TURN TURN TURN. It appears that the main purpose of the break is to entertain YUKI, the family dog. I like to think that it's the song, SAIL AWAY LADIES, that's making Yuki feel so wild.
If you have a dog or any other pet would you please take it off the leash get out your instrument and play this tune? If this is what Sail Away Ladies does to animals we should probably know so we can make arrangements at our concerts.
The cd TURN TURN TURN will land on planet earth August 27th......

new educational catalog for teachers
hail teachers! there is a new and quite extensive pamphlet for you written by one of my favorite authors homa tavangar. it takes you CD by CD through our catalog and serves up track and activity recommendations that should help you navigate the musical offerings on festival five records. i think it's long overdue and if you have any thoughts about what could make it more useful we would appreciate hearing from you.

new dzaf leapfrog apps
Maybe someone in your family has a LeapPad? If that's the case, you can now find two swinging (or swingin' as we say) Dan Zanes LeapPad apps to bring hopped up songs (Sidewalk Dance Music) and relaxed songs (Good Night Music) to these hand held devises. I created the playlists especially for Leapfrog and think that for young people who enjoy listening to music this way these are....indispensable! and...essential! Check them out in the LeapFrog app center.
