dan zanes and friends will present a traditional holiday sing-a-long and dance party. join us for a musical celebration of the antonson's annual christmas party - a seasonal highlight in concord, new hampshire from 1968-1989, which dan recalls fondly in his new christmas collection.
special guests! christmas music! songbooks! holiday spirit!
tickets and info are here!
fall is here and the gift giving holidays are fast approaching. this year why not give the gift of 21st century all-ages social music as played by dan zanes and friends? we're including a free sheet of stickers with every order and a free dan zanes contradance cd with orders over $120. for orders over $5000, i'll probably show up on your doorstep and plays the songs on my guitar.
if it's a holiday you celebrate, i hope that you all have a peaceful, thoughtful, happy, healthy, and musical thanksgiving.
what am i grateful for this year? i'm grateful to be making this music for you all!
have you all heard little nut tree yet? i think that this might be our best all-ages cd so far and here is what some of the harsh critics out in the world are saying about it:
“the king of the kindie rock scene is back!” - time out ny kids
"5 stars... one of the best kids' music albums of 2011." -about.com
"songs like zanes' "in the basement" not only inspire kids, but also get adult heads bobbing" -npr
“it’s a grand cd... back is the warmth. back is the wonder.”-outwiththekids.com
"the overall effect is one big smile." wall street journal
"consider him (dan zanes) the pixar studios in the world of children’s music. -popmatters.com
"little nut tree is not only one of the year’s stand-out albums, it will likely be on my list as one of the best in the last decade." -familymanonline.com
“...completely addictive.” ivillage.com
“just plain terrific.” sparetherock.com
"a new dan zanes record is always cause for celebration, and his latest family release, little nut tree, is no exception.” dadnabbit.com
music,
i'm so glad to finally be able to say...
OUR NEW CD LITTLE NUT TREE IS HERE!
that train. that one came out before a lot of our current fans
were even born, so it's been a while.
little nut tree features performances by andrew bird, sharon jones,
joan osborne, shine, and the sierra leone refugee all-stars, as well
as old pals barbara brousal, bonga, father goose, rob friedman, simon
kirke, donald saaf, tareq abboushi, and the friends you know so well
from the live shows: colin brooks, sonia de los santos, john foti,
saskia sunshine lane, elena moon park, and yoshi waki. the sea rascals
and l.a.'s harmony project also make bold appearances.
yes, it's a homespun affair with a festive cast of thousands!
like our first four family cds this is packaged in a board book with
full color artwork by our long time collaborator donald saaf.
here is the place to go if you want to order it online.
chances are good that it's in one of your local music or family
stores. if there's someplace in your community that you think should
be selling DZAF cds please let us know and we'll reach out.
thank you all for the support, enthusiasm, wild dancing that has
inspired us through this recording.
