Five Little Pumpkins Music Video Released!

Happy October!!! Based on a traditional song, featured on my "Jumpin' Jitters, It's Halloween" album, "Five Little Pumpkins" invites children to sing along as they watch the song gently come to life in this child-centered animated music video illustrated in cut-paper collage.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Jumpin' Jitters, It's Halloween Album to be released October 21!

It’s beginning to feel like Halloween, especially this Friday, October 21 when I release my new album Jumpin’ Jitters, It’s Halloween for children on streaming and digital platforms worldwide! These fourteen slightly spooky, mostly silly Halloween songs will have your bones rattling and your spine tingling. Fan favorite original songs such as “Shake Your Skeletons” and “Little Bat Song,” are paired nicely with traditional tunes such as “Five Little Pumpkins” and “Mean Old Witch.”

A stellar team of monster musicians such as C. R. Gruver on Hammond organ, Nathan Williams on accordion, Jake Eckert on lead guitar, Gina Forsyth on fiddle, Doug Belote on drums, Lee Allen Zeno on bass, EJ Ouellette on mandolin, Scott Billington on harmonica, and a Whole Music student chorus join me, on vocals, guitar and ukulele, to create an eerie soundscape for fall fun.

The digital album will be available on worldwide streaming platforms beginning on Friday, but because I always put my FANS FIRST, you can download the album NOW! Surprise!!! The physical CD will come out in a month or so!

I would like to thank Threadhead Cultural Foundation for the generous grant that partially funded this project.

I hope you enjoy the new album as much as I enjoyed making it!
