Described as “captivating”, “sheer entertainment”, “the elite of children’s performers”, “better than the Wiggles”, Suzanne Nicks and Sandie Thomson make up the “delicious” duo, The Smudge Fundaes!

Canadian musicians with varied musical backgrounds, Suzanne and Sandie combine their talents, wit and 'kid-intuition' to deliver music for kids – not necessarily for parents!
The Smudge Fundaes newest CD, A Trunk O' Tunes, is destined to be another hit! Already, Wayne DeSchover, Music Director of Max Trax Digital Music says about A Trunk O' Tunes: “it’s so refreshing to hear original children’s music that’s actually meant for kids!”

The Smudge Fundaes have 4 other highly acclaimed CDs that have garnered 6 international awards. The Smudge Fundaes have been twice honoured by “Parents Choice Award”, 3 times honoured by “iParenting Media” Award, and have also received the “Our Choice” Award (with Distinction)! Our Choice is a Canadian guide to consumers for the best music CDs and books for children.

For television, The Smudge Fundaes conceived, wrote and starred in 2 seasons of their own show, Classroom Crayons, featuring Ruby Red and Sunny Yellow. The accolades and reviews were fantastic.

The Smudge Fundaes variety show is always a crowd pleaser, whether in conjunction with TREEHOUSE TV’s Big Comfy Couch, Clifford, or Dora The Explorer. The Smudge Fundaes have performed at concerts, fairs and festivals across Canada and the U.S. for over 12 years. Performing for Winterblast at Superbowl XL in Detroit, Michigan was a thrilling experience for the duo.

The Smudge Fundaes are leaders and specialists in the area of educational, music-based assemblies for elementary school children. Their assemblies about bullying, reading, writing, environment, health and safety have been seen and heard by thousands of students in hundreds of elementary schools in Canada and the United States. Educators say The Smudge Fundaes assemblies are “clear, direct and right out there!” and “fast-paced, groovin and absolutely on topic” and “the best presentation we have had at our school”.

As one happy fan said, “If you want to sweeten your life…try The Smudge Fundaes!
