Dan Zanes, acclaimed singer/songwriter and former lead singer of Boston rock and roll band The Del Fuegos has started a label dedicated to making children's music for the whole family and neighborhood to enjoy.
It's the sound of friends getting together and making relaxed and exciting music in a communal atmosphere.
On Rocket Ship Beach, the first release from Dan's Festival Five label, the friends include Sheryl Crow, Donald Saaf, rapper Rankin' Don, Suzanne Vega, West indian vocal group The Sandy Girls and Barbara Brousal in addition to Zanes own Wonderland String Band.
"wry, rootsy, real American folk music - songs that twist a little plangency into the sweetness of a melody, songs that feel like life." - Rolling Stone (from the 2001 Hot Issue. Dan was the "hot kid rock")
" a lovely, lively nostalgia trip" - The New York Post

Dancin' Fools
author: Jack's Granny Pat
Rocket Ship Beach has made dancing fools out of three generations in our family with one disc. How does that man do it? It must be the hair! I'm never combing mine again.

a group of groupies
author: Jane and Owen's mom
Another great CD; we have 4 others. The guests each bring a new element to this collection of songs. Who doesn't love Father Goose? We just travelled down the Erie canal so we love that song in particular. Hello makes me smile. Can't wait to see the man himself in concert again. We are groupies.

Rocket Ship Beach is great
author: John & Kim
We love this CD. On a recent family road trip we listened almost continuously for 3 hours (each way)! I think our favorites are Father Goose and Hello but enjoy each and every song on the CD. Great job producing a fun, family friendly CD.
