Praise for the Album
"Lots to like about the Sharp Cookies. Any band with the Ramones as a major influence is way cool in our book." - Lou Carlozo, Chicago Tribune
"Part of being a kid in Chicago is rocking out with kindie/folk icon Mr. Singer." - Red Tricycle
FYI
Chicago's most energetic band that rocks for kids, the award-winning Mr. Singer & the Sharp Cookies, goes all out for the season ghosts and goblins with their fourth album, Happy Haunted Halloween, set for release on October 5, 2018.
With plenty of treats and maybe a few tricks up its sleeve, the album offers something for everyone who loves Halloween: spooky songs about haunted houses, ghost towns, crawl spaces, and monster hunters; sweet songs about gathering with friends, dressing up as a cuddly bunny, and counting trick or treat loot; and even an historical song about the brilliant teenage author, Mary Shelley, plus a dance number inspired by Frankenstein.

Mr. Singer & the Sharp Cookies are the husband-and-wife team of Neil and Kerry Firstenleit ("Mr. Singer" and "Kerry Appleberry") , along with dynamo drummer Michael Massett ("Marius Mustard"). The band's rocking electric sound has been described as "like June & Johnny Cash playing The Clash while riding unicycles through the zoo!"
Neil Firstenleit was born and raised in Wooster, Ohio, where playing music is what most of his friends did for fun. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia College Chicago, where he studied music and sound recording. He worked in the San Francisco music industry as a backline technician, sound engineer, and guitar technician for luminaries as The Beach Boys, Credence Clearwater Revisited, and Jimmy Cliff. He taught music at the Old Town School of Folk Music and Rogers Montessori School. He now performs hundreds of shows each year as a solo artist, as a duo with his wife Kerry, and with Mr. Singer & the Sharp Cookies. He and his wife own and operate LeitHaus Studios Chicago an award-winning music school, photography studio, and art gallery.
Kerry Firstenleit has been an artist all her life. Happily working with mediums from Play-doh to detailed appliqué, her true passion resides in painting on canvas in oil or acrylic. Kerry received her fine arts degree from Ohio University where she graduated Cum Laude. Originally from Chicago, Kerry returned to the Windy City following her graduation to embark on an award-winning photography career at Norman Phillips of London. Little did she know the she would soon find herself performing for kids.
