Dan Zanes rides the XM waves to your radio
Family-friendly Grammy-nominated musician extraordinaire Dan Zanes apparently had a secret desire to be a disc jockey. Which is a coincidence, because I had a secret desire to hear awesome radio music that wasn't pure dreck (mainstream kid music) or me fake-sneezing during naughty words (my music). So we both get our wish.
Rocketship Beach Radio with Dan Zanes will feature music from the Sirius XM archives, as well as hits from Dan's own collection and his albums, including the recent 76 Trombones album based on a catalog of Broadway favorites. Add in Dan's spectacular storytelling and lighthearted chatting, and you've got a mellow show for the whole family that makes for a very G-rated House Party.
The show has already launched on Sirius XM station Kids Place Live, channel 116, but it will replay several times this fall, along with five more episodes. For schedule information, check the Kids Place Live page. Then grab your boogie board and surf the XM waves with Dan the Man.~Delilah
