Jumpin’ Jitters, It’s Halloween
For Your Grammy Consideration!

The new Family Choice Award winning album from Johnette Downing

Johnette Downing stirs a brew of traditional and original slightly spooky, mostly silly Halloween songs for families in her twelfth album, Jumpin’ Jitters, It’s Halloween. For over three decades, Downing has used these songs while teaching and performing early childhood music. The familiar “Five Little Pumpkins,” “Skin and Bones,” and “Dark Dark Night,” are paired with fan favorites such as her originals “Shake Your Skeleton,” “Little Bat Song,” and “Jumpin’ Jitters.”
