The Dream Jam Band are five musicians from the Northeast who write and play an eclectic collection of original music for children of all ages young and old. Their influences range from The Beatles to Mozart from Duke Ellington to Woody Guthrie. When asked how to describe The Dream Jam Band’s music, one member said: “A Marx Brothers movie that you can dance to.”

The group has a really eclectic sound that spans the spectrum of rock, pop, blues, hip-hop, sing-a-longs and classical with the influences mentioned above. The music reinforces the band’s idea that music can be used to aid a child’s learning development. Their new album, which came out July 13 is a fun, upbeat album full of great songs…

  1. Dance Like a Skeleton
  2. Bad Hair Day
  3. Leave It In the Soup
  4. Have a Party When You Get the Blues
  5. Great Day
  6. I Can’t Tie My Shoes
  7. Boing
  8. Friends of the Sea
  9. Melanie the Mermaid
  10. This Old Town
  11. The Lullaby

My Thoughts

My kids like all types of music and my toddler especially liked the songs on this CD. Her favorite by far is the 60s sounding “Bad Hair Day” and runs to get her hair brush before dancing around the living room, jamming to the beat! I like that she will put her CD on in her room all by herself and sign and dance along. I enjoy that it gets her moving and makes her giggle.

I have been given the opportunity to host a giveaway of two CDs to two Dirty Shirt readers. Please see rules below to enter to win.
