Great Kids’ Music: Ken Lonnquist
Ken Lonnquist, Madison, WI -based performer and songwriter, makes some of the best kid’s music I’ve heard. Unfortunately for you, if you’re not from around Madison, you may have never had a chance to hear of him. Let me introduce you.
Over at his website you can find just about anything about his music. He also has samples from his CDs there. They’re too short to give a good impression of his songs. For a wider of samples go to itunes from the links next to his CDs on his Downloads Page . You won’t be disappointed. The music should appeal to anyone in the family. On trips, we load him into the CD player in the car and enjoy him more than our kids, ages 10 and 4, do.
We have about 5 of his CDs, but my favorite is “Lost Songs From Kenland”. When the kids are dragging on a school morning I pop it into the CD player in the kitchen and crank it. The first song is “Sunny Side Up”, the funnest breakfast song you’ll probably ever hear. In a minute we’re dancing and gettin’ silly, soon in the mood for good breakfast food.
I’d really like to hear about your own local gems that may have missed their deserved limelight. Let me know-go ahead and post a comment or let me know if you’d like to post. Provide links and photo’s if you can. There’s always room for more good family music.
