Giveaway: Take the Whole Family to See Will Stroet
When you start listening to kids’ music, you learn quickly that not all children’s entertainment is created equal. You also learn that what your two year old enjoys (and wants to listen to over and over and over and over and over) and what you enjoy are not necessarily the same thing. This means that kids’ music that both children and parents enjoy is worth its weight in gold. If you could use more high-quality children’s music in your life you’ll want to pay attention closely, because this giveaway is for you.
We’ve introduced you to Vancouver-based children’s entertainer Will Stroet before. For instance, we shared our podcast with Will last autumn. This teacher-turned-musician creates catchy, funny, creative tunes in English and in French. His latest CDs – Just Imagine (English) and Imagine (French) – will be released on September 30, 2013. They continue the trend. We connected with Will recently and asked him how he makes songs that appeal to children and parents alike. He shared, “We’re trying to keep it musically interesting and fun for adults as well as kids. Honestly, if you can make something that parents will enjoy using themes that are relevant to kids that’s the trick right there.”
Singing Along with Will Stroet
We managed to get our hands on an advance copy of Just Imagine. We’ve been dancing along to “Mama Samba”, laughing out loud at “Trikers”, and exploring our creative sides with “Colour It”. It’s catchy and fun, and you can pre-order your copy at willmusic.bandcamp.com/album/just-imagine. To celebrate the CD’s launch, Will Stroet and his Backyard Band will be playing two shows here in Vancouver on October 14, 2013. They’ll take to the stage at St. James Community Hall at 10:30am and 1:30pm. We’re thrilled to be giving away one family four-pack to a lucky VancouverMom.ca reader. The winner can choose the morning or afternoon show on October 14.
