  • Dan Zanes House Party
    DAN ZANES' HOUSE PARTY! Make Your Family Band Dreams Come True with the Grammy Award-winning Dan Zanes Meet Dan Zanes & Claudia Elias Grammy Award-winner Dan Zanes occupies a unique place in American music. Referred to by Time Magazine as “the family-music genre’s most outspoken and eloquent advocate,” and by NPR as, “The Gold Standard in kid’s music,” his critically- acclaimed work has been featured on Sesame Street, Playhouse Disney, Nickelodeon, HBO Family and Sprout. In the 1980s, Zanes was a member of The Del Fuegos, a roots rock band. After becoming a father in 1994, he began trying to create music that he and his daughter could enjoy together as a shared experience, an updated version of the Folkways records he grew up on. In 2017, Zanes and his wife, Haitian-American jazz vocalist Music Therapist Claudia Eliaza, premiered Night Train 57: A Sensory Friendly Comic Folk Opera at The Kennedy Center, the first piece commissioned by The Kennedy Center to be created as a Sensory Friendly experience. Dan and Claudia believe that Sensory Friendly is the future of family entertainment and have committed to presenting their work in this inclusive manner. Zanes and Eliaza are currently touring for Night Train 57 and the new album, Lead Belly, Baby!, which celebrates the children’s music of his childhood inspiration Lead Belly – the Godfather of modern family music. In between tours, Zanes teaches guitar and ukulele on Sonic Junction, the leader in online instructional videos, and listens obsessively to Haitian music. About the Book Zanes has curated a rich selection of 64 soulful songs from an essential cross-section of folk styles while highlighting thir multicultural roots.

  • Billy Jonas and His Band Bring ‘Neo-Tribal Hootenanny’ to CL
    Billy Jonas and his band bring ‘neo-tribal hootenanny’ to CL By JAMI KUNZER • [email protected] “It’s easy for people to be part of the music and to feel like the song has been part of their lives even if they’ve never heard it,” he said. At a performance of Jonas and the Billy Jonas Band, the audience is invited to participate as Jonas combines conventional instruments of guitar, bass and marimba with homemade creations, such as buckets and barrels, keys and cans, bells and body percussion. His three goals: to have fun, to make it easy and to sound good. “Adults and kids are equally entertained,” Jonas said. “We look for the balance between asking them to be part of it and asking them to go along for the ride.” Jonas performs throughout the country and Canada. His CD, “What Kind of Cat are You?!” has received multiple awards, including a First Place/Gold from the American Federation of Independent Musicians and Parent’s Choice Gold. Growing up in Chicago, Jonas learned instruments, such as piano, guitar and trombone, at a young age. But, he said, “The most joy I had was when I was with my friends playing rhythms in the kitchen on pots and pans.” He and his friends would bang on the pans with chopsticks. In college, they turned the act into a band called “The Oberlin Big Bang Theory.” After college, Jonas began writing songs and playing them at coffeehouses. He’d present them “raw,” using only a water bottle drum and his voice.

Now, with the help of his wife and musical partner, Haitian-American vocalist and music therapist Claudia Eliaza, he’s fighting for more accessibility and inclusivity in music through his work in the budding sensory friendly movement. While Eliaza received her degree in music therapy from the distinguished Berklee College of Music and had experience bringing music into children’s lives, Zanes stumbled into it by way of his daughter, now calling his work in children’s music, “the most satisfying thing” he’s ever done.
