Away We Go!

When I was living in Virginia, I met a talented musician named Holly Bishop, who runs a great toddler/preschool music program in the Hampton Roads area called Little Rockstars. Well, now she has released her very own children’s music CD, Away We Go! She was sweet enough to send me a copy to enjoy with my boys, and we love it! So far our favorite track is “Baby Signs.”

Her music and the songs on the CD are fun and (in my opinion), are just the right blend to appeal to the younger set, while still being pleasant for grownup ears. Ever since the first time I put in on in the car, my boys ask for it to be played every time we hit the road. So, if you’re looking for some new tunes to enjoy with the kiddos, check this out… Away We Go!

And if you want to learn more about Holly and her Little Rockstars, check out the piece I produced on her for The Hampton Roads Show.
