JamToast is not new to our site, but they DO have some new music to share with us! Michael McKinnon and his young sons, Owen and Drew, serve up more energetic punk music for kids on the new album Rock ‘n Roll Playground. You’ll have a hard time sitting still while listening to: Lucas Like Firetrucks, Rain Rain Go Away and Shoelace Soup.

The Cornell Hurd Band brings an old-style country feel to a simple, funny song about more-desirable behavior with their song Don’t Wipe Your Face On Your Shirt. It’s from the Bloodshot Records various artists collection, The Bottle Let Me Down.

The Flutterbys are Jill Carole and Paul Robinson, and they’re sharing two songs from their new album Jungle Jam. The songs are Flynn the Blynn and The Cow Who Likes To Whistle (which also features guest performances by Oscar-nominated actress Piper Laurie and Al “Year of the Cat” Stewart). Of note, a portion of the proceeds from the album will be donated to Generation Rescue (an autism advocacy program).

Kids Imagine Nation is Aaron, Beatz and Rachel (all 3 are preschool music teachers), and they bring their energetic live performances to preschools and kids fairs. Their new self-titled album features the song Mama, and they’ve brought it to us to share with you.

Lemonsquare features the music of Alan Schlaifer, and they’re offering up a time-telling tale called Tic Toc. It’s from the album Music for Fun.

And finally…from the Chicagoland area, Wee Hairy Beasties‘ first concert was at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. The band was under the mistaken impression they would be playing to the animals…so all the songs they brought were about animals. But…children showed up as well…so the band decided to record an album called Animal Crackers! Enjoy the song: Wee Hairy Beasties

All this great music for kids is available for free legal download right now at FreeKidsMusic.com

Sarah Lee Guthrie has a proud musical pedigree in the folk music genre (daughter of Arlo, granddaughter of Woody), so it only makes sense that she’d be making her mark there as well, and doing so as a family affair (accompanied by her husband, her two daughters, her dad Arlo and Pete Seeger). From her album Go Waggaloo, she’s sharing the song Cuz We’re Cousins.

Super Stolie is the alter ego of Rebecca Stoelinga, a singer/songwriter based in the Chicago area. She sort of slid sideways into children’s music, after a friend told her she had a dream about it. Her new album is called When I Grow Up, and she’s brought us a couple songs: Busy Bumblebee and Kitties and Dogs.

New York-based artist Ms. Janis is determined to get kids moving with her music. In fact, it only makes sense…after 8 years of teaching creative movement, music, yoga and gymnastics to children! From her album Music 4 Me! Volume #1, Moving Bodies, and Inspiring Hearts, you’ll find yourself tapping along with Around The Circle.

Einstein’s Monkey is three guys from Virginia (Jeff Hofmann, B Bagby and David McDonald) who’ve discovered a mutual interest in children’s music. They’ve recently released their album, Banana Yellow, and brought us a couple songs to share with you: Pet Dinosaur and Party In The Playground.

From the first strains of the song My Friend Luke, you’ll notice that Copper Tom doesn’t make music that sounds like “everybody else”. His loosey-goosey groove is almost reminiscent of the Sixties. His album is called Get The Beat!, and I feel like I’m already well on my way to getting it! Oh, and don’t miss the cute video of the song. [Field under C] 

Tessa Pfeifer is the founder and CEO of Dancercise Kids, a successful kids’ dance and fitness business, and has been singing and dancing since she was old enough to walk and talk. Her classes, and music performed by Tessa & Dancercise Kids helps kids build strong minds and happy hearts, with an emphasis on manners, nutrition, movement and other positive themes. It’s not the least bit hard to imagine lots of kids movin’ to the groove of the song, Diggity Bone. [Filed under D]

In addition to the French earlier, we’re also venturing into the world of Spanish-speaking children’s music this time with Argentine native Mariana Iranzi and her album Aventura Collage. She’s a Berklee College of Music graduate and brings her talents on bass, guitar and percussion to her kids music. She’s brought us a lullaby called Buenas Noches and a song about a woodpecker called Pajaro Carpintero! [Filed under I]

John Hurbon has created a wiggle-worthy collection of original and traditional songs in an album called Puppy Song Party, featuring guitar and harmonica arrangements. And he’s brought us a song called Kids Fun Tune to share with you.

And finally, we have some individual offerings from a couple folks who don’t usually focus on music for children. Michael Askounes wrote a lullaby for his daughter, called Go To Sleep III. And Thalia Black is a mom of three who mostly records pop music, but felt that kids might enjoy Everyday’s A Party.
