FYI
From out of the DC metro area comes unanimous praise for the Parents' Choice Award winning kindie band Mr. Jon & Friends, powered for nearly a decade by the husband-and-wife duo of Jon and Carrie Lewis. Now kids and families across the country can tune into the energy, fun, and sweetness of Mr. Jon & Friends' band of Raffi-inspired good sounds with the band's third album, "Rock & Rhyme."
Mr. Jon & Friends keeps laughter, dancing, and audience involvement at the forefront, performing an astounding variety of delightful and eminently child-appropriate material that includes sing-along songs, counting songs, dancing songs, storytelling songs, interactive songs, lullabies, and more.
With the release of "Rock & Rhyme", Mr. Jon & Friends calls upon talents of celebrated producer Matt Williams and a world-class roster of Nashville and LA-based players. Blending the charm of a guileless, straightforward delivery with a refreshing clarity of orchestration performed by spectacularly gifted instrumentalists and seasoned with a liberal sprinkling of gentle humor, "Rock & Rhyme" brings families a listening and participatory experience that respects the intelligence of both children and adults.
