Album Notes

"Thanks to a catchy, Beatles-Influenced pop sound, parents won't even care that Bari Koral's Family Rock and Roll Band is singing about farms and cars. Little ones will happily sing along with the proclaimed "Sheryl Crow for kids."

Singer/songwriter, Bari Koral is happy to release her new CD The Bari Koral Family Band. This family friendly CD is the follow up to her critically-acclaimed solo CD, Confessions of an Indiegirl released in 2005.


The Long Island native and New York-based Koral who has built up a following and has shared the stage with such major recording artists as Norah Jones, and Lenny Kravitz has put a new twist on her sound by making music that will delight children and their parents. In addition to Bari on guitar and vocals, the band features Dred Scott (bass) and Eric Halvorson (drums). The trio made their live debut last October at the Long Island’s Children’s Museum where they previewed new material from their forthcoming CD and since then, have built up a following with both kids and their parents, who are eager to hear something fresh and new.


The Bari Koral Family Band CD includes lots of earnest songs about animals, and cars such as “The Farm Song,” and “Dad’s New Car,” which are destined to become instant kid’s classics. Many other songs have plenty of adult appeal including "A Day at the Beach," reminiscent of the Go Go's, the bouncy pop ballad, "There's Nothing I Wouldn't Do," and live favorites such as "Dance all Day," which seems to draw from equal parts Blondie to The Hokey Pokey. "I look out during our concerts and see parents and kids dancing together and having a great time with each other. That's what I do. That's exactly the kind of experience I want to create for families” said Koral.


With the band’s unique ability to appeal to a diverse age-range, they keep busy during the daytime at various children’s series and during the night at local music venues. Their popular live shows are often described as a celebration of music, family, kids & love.
