Soundzania is a place that you can go...Scott Flory, a friend of Allie's, sent me this album to share with all of you!
Soundzania was created by three very musical and imaginative Dads. Two years after band-mates Scott Flory, Ken Hougasian, and Lee Parker gave up the late nights and smoky-club lifestyle of a rock band, all three began enjoying the late nights and smelly-diaper lifestyle of fatherhood.
Soundzania is a children's album designed to inspire young minds to learn more and do more with instruments. You gotta love that!
With help from musician friends and engineers, each song on the album was transformed from a private lazy-morning guitar sing-along or quiet bedside lullaby into a musical world filled with banjos, kazoos, mandolins, and even a sousaphone.
Their site is too fun. Listen to a few song samples here. Print out coloring pages for the kiddies here!
I've got a Soundzania CD to giveaway!
How to win:
1. Just leave a comment here by 9 PM (CST) Thursday May 31 and
2. let me know which song you like the best from the samples.
If you can't listen to them, check out their lyrics and let me know which song you like the best! My personal favorite: dream. You'll just have to get the CD to hear that one!
Just can't wait? You can order the CD here and even on iTunes!
Wanna tell your friends? Please do! If you link to Soundzania and/or this contest on your blog, be sure to let me know here in the comments and you'll get two entries in the contest! I'll announce the winner tomorrow evening!
*The winner of the CD is Andrea from The Laughs Will Go On! Enjoy!!
You are the contest QUEEEEEN! I'll listen to the lyrics tonight; I dumped a gallon of water on my laptop and the speakers don't work (go figure).
ReplyDeleteHey, I just noticed you're in Chicago. Are you planning to hit BlogHer this summer?!
Hey Steph! I'm so excited that you're doing the Soundzania contest! I think you linked the wrong Allie though :). I'm a big blog reader but just finally got some time to post comments and blogs myself! I didn't want the other Allie to be confused! Love all your contests, you are a truly connected lady!
ReplyDeleteAH- I am so sorry about that mix-up! It's corrected now! Thank you!

Great songs! My daughters like the Pajamas one :-)
ReplyDeleteCute cute songs! I like Dream and Pajamas, I think... Pajamas is a little bit silly, and Dream is really peaceful... but really, I guess, I like them all. It definitely beats hours of "The Wheels on the Bus"! Kids' music has certainly improved!
ReplyDeleteJust by the lyrics Crazy Cat and Go Ask Your Dad look cute. Im adding a post to double my chances.
ReplyDeleteWe (the boys and Myself) like the Pajamas song the best so far. I agree that it beats the Wheels on the Bus also. I will link on my blog also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great contest.
Hey Stephanie! You are the winner of my Netflix giveaway. I didn't find an email for you - hoping you get this comment. Please send me your mailing address. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteCount me in on your contest please. I will post your contest on my blog tonight.
oh, I like Dreams the best
ReplyDeleteHey!! Tate LOVES music so this would be so fun for him!! And me too, since I love music too! hehe :) (one of the awesome things about having kids is that you have the perfect excuse to listen to fun kids music, go to the zoo, park, circus, etc.! haha :). Anyways, my favorite out of the samples was the "Pjamas" one...too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI posted about it on my blog too...can't wait to hear who the winner is! :)
Aw... I can't get the sound to work, but would love to enter the contest!
ReplyDeletei like "pajamas" the best because they're not made of llamas. :)
ReplyDeletePS: I have the contest linked on my sidebar. I'm going to go and listen to pajamas again...
ReplyDeleteI can see my youngest liking something like this.
ReplyDeleteI like it. So far, my favorite song is "Sunny Day", maybe because I'm in a summery mood. I'm going to check out some of the coloring pages for my kids now ....
ReplyDeleteYou so crack me up, girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for new tunes that Starlet & I can both rock to. Dan Zanes is still our current hero. She's still asleep so I'll have her listen later.
What a cute CD! It's hard to pick which one I like. If we have to pick just one, I would say the pajama one.
ReplyDeleteHey Stephanie, thanks for running the contest and the positive links! I just noticed the listening links were very slow... I just updated the listen page to now allow you to hear samples of ALL the songs on the album. I hope everyone enjoys the samples. I enjoy knowing that little ones are listening to some fun music.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, please count me in too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, if you want to win you must tell me which song you like best off the album as well!

Count me in, I love the pajama song! I also linked to the contest in my blog.
ReplyDeletealphabet soup! I totally thought LMNOP was a letter when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteAdding my blog link now for more chances to win!
I really like the samples...especially the title track, Soundzania! Many of the songs are bluegrass-y and mommy likes bluegrass.
ReplyDeleteI blogged about the contest too...
I liked the Pajamas song, myself! It got me swaying back and forth
ReplyDeleteYou're the contest queen!!
Jane, Pinks & Blues Girls
I want in and I like the Go Ask Your Dad song. It is just so how our family is! And I also linked to this contest on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHey Steph! I love this group - they remind me a good bit of They Might Be Giants because of their randomness. =) In our home, anything this random is a winner! I think my favorite clip was the one about "Tuesday" - I just laughed out loud. The music also got the attention of my one-year old. Go figure! -Tiffany
ReplyDeleteFun songs! I like pajamas.
ReplyDeleteCount me in please, can't wait to listen to it.
