Who: Eric Herman and the Invisible Band. He sounds like a Disco/Electronic Yosi. I'd love to see a full band show sometime.
What: The CD Snow Day! Their third CD filled with 12 songs many have funny zinger at the end (like Melony Ring or When I Grow Up.) The songs are different enough you won't find yourself feeling TRAPPED listening to the CD. There were two positive thinking songs, No Big Deal and My Lucky Day, that I think are good for kids to hear. The album ends with two beautiful songs, Hide and Seek With the Moon and This Little Light of Mine. I wish they weren't at the end of the CD.
Where: A great CD for the car or home. Dance Like an Animal would fit in at school or at a kids dance party too.
Positives: GREAT Liner notes. Compared to the previous CDs it seems like Eric is coming into his own now. The CD is very professional and he seems to have found his audience. I wish him the best of luck.
Things to grow on: I would probably put the songs in a different order and I'd love for him to write a few Universal values songs, like about sharing, caring, love, etc. I think that teaching these values to kids though song is a wonderful thing.
So in a nutshell I really like Snow Day! And my guess is you will too.

Non-stop fun with an enormous variety of musical sounds.
author: The Lovely Mrs. Davis
Non-stop fun with an enormous variety of musical sounds and styles, silly voices, and wacky lyrics. There is a lot going on in Herman's music, but it's fun and enjoyable, especially for kids. I would suspect that even an 8-year-old who forgot his Ritalin would sit still and give his undivided attention to an Eric Herman performance. Herman is a great example of the "goofy dad" sub-genre of children's music, with the "high-energy, laugh-a-minute approach". His writing is clearly geared toward elementary-age kids, but there is plenty here for parents to enjoy, too.
