Album Notes

"Family Dance" is the follow up to the acclaimed "Rocket Ship Beach" CD from Dan Zanes on the Festival Five label. This is the sound of friends getting together with electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, tubas, accordions, harmonicas, tambourines, drums, banjos, mandolins, and voices, to sing and play traditional and original songs. Family dance is a natural blend of folk, rock and roll, fiddle tunes, a capella hip hop, and dancehall- musical traditions of one sort or another updated for the 21st century in the relaxed and soulful style that made "Rocket Ship Beach" so popular with families around the world. Special guests include Rosanne Cash, Barbara Brousal, Loudon Wainwright III, Sandra Bernhard, Rankin' Don a.k.a. Father Goose, The Sandy Girls, Donald Saaf, and The Rubi Theatre Company. family dance is recommended by parents choice.
