Rock ’n’ Roll Music for Kids
Some boys never grow up. Drew, Daron, and Jack make up Recess Money and they are as silly as their music...sure to bring a smile to your face as you slip back into childhood yourself. Reminds me of Adam Sandler but they can sing, sorry Adam. The lyrics in "Field Trip" will have you cracking up with songs like "Sack Lunch", "L.I.C.E", and "Haven't got a pet yet". Join Mayor Monkey the hand puppet as he walks you through music videos and interviews in "Get On The Bus".

Get ready to sway, bop, and rock with Rebecca Frezza & Big Truck. Rockin', Rollin' and Ridin' is full of family music for the entire family to enjoy. Your child will love these silly songs, and you will too... we promise! This group is as contagious as the wiggles but kinder on the ears. We dare you to sit still during "Robot Dancer"!





The whole milkshake band got together for this one and in six twelve-hour days, "Great Day" was tracked. Their mission was to create great rock ’n’ roll music for kids and we think they nailed it! So shake it up and dance the day away with this great CD.



The Jimmies is a rock and roll extravaganza full of creative music that has a great beat with fun lyrics that bring their songs to life. "Trying Funny Stuff" is a 2-disk DVD/CD set that includes 6 music videos, a live concert, karaoke videos and more. We adore their hit song, "Cool to be Uncool" as well as "Do the elephant". Available 11/3/09.




The Jumpitz Shortcutz is a 2-disc combo pack that includes videos and music that is fun as well as entertaining with great beats, guitars, drums and other instruments that bring the fun lyrics of these songs to life. We encourage you to grab some instruments, form a conga line...just get up and move to the groove.


Who would know better about kids and their love for sweets, camping, and lullabies than a work-at-home dad dedicated to raising his 4 children. Tracey Singer brings you a fun CD appropriately called, "Sweets 'n' treats" that is full of old time rock 'n' roll, pop, jazz and FUN!




Butterflyfish Ladybug CD mixes nature, animals, bugs and faith to bring sweet melodies that develop a connection with the world and spirituality with songs that are infectiously catchy and fun!




Bedtime music makes a great routine for your children. We love the soothing lullabies found on this "Under the Stars" Sunflow CD. With soft rock and beautiful melodies we give this music two thumbs up! on CD or as a digital download at: itsaboutmusic.com.
