check out groovy nate

after much anticipation, the "Meet Groovy Nate" CD has launched!  you can buy it on the
Groovy Nate site.  support a local artist!

for those of you who don't know, Groovy Nate is an awesome children's entertainer who performs regularly around arlington, alexandria, and the d.c. metropolitan area.  he and his family happen to be good friends of ours.  a papa of two, he and his wife kisha have been developing the groovy nate thang for the past several years, and now, the release of his first CD!  kisha writes a majority of the material and has done alot more behind-the-scenes work than i initially realized, as the director and vocal coach, among other things.

nate puts on a highly engaging show - if you have young ones and haven't had the pleasure to see a Groovy Nate show yet, go to his site, and find one!  and grab a CD while you're at it. you're in for a real treat.  he incorporates puppetry, beat-boxing, and other sound effects, as well as guitar & vocals.  his show is very interactive, & he has the kids movin' & groovin', callin' out, & crackin' up.  nate also offers workshops & birthday parties, and performances can be tailored to a specific theme upon request - see his site for more info.

now, one of the coolest things about his CD for me, besides it being fabulous, is that this is my daughter adobe's vocal debut!  she is featured in several of the tracks, along with nate's two children & another friend, and she has a solo on the track "Inside Beauty".  another thing that i really love about this CD is the quality musicianship & variety of music styles from track to track - blues, hip-hop, reggae vibes & more.

if you've already checked it out, or once you do, i'd love it if you'd leave a comment!  thanks.
