Album Notes

The best classic rock numbers done kiddie-style, with a toddler twist...

Children can learn valuable lessons, while parents are afforded a moment to reflect on what may have been happening when the parodied song was originally released.

Undeniably...a witty, catchy and rockin' kids album with parody covers of some of parents favorite rock songs!

Mindy made the beautiful discovery that passion and responsibility are not always as far apart as they may seem and "Mindys Music" was born. A 36 year old, Chicago native and single mom, Mindy began performing as an actor, graduating from the Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago in 1992. She went on to do television and film roles while living in Los Angeles until 2000. View her acting credits at www.imdb.com/mindyhester.

She returned to Chicago and began teaching at The Old Town School Of Folk Music, in the adult guitar and Wiggleworms children's music program. She currently lives and tours the entire Chicago area year round, bringing the house down every time.

Recent area performances include:

*The Kohl Children's Museum, Chicago
*WTTW Channel 11's Back To School Special
*The National Council For Jewish Women's Winter Concert
*The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Family Day
* Starland Creativity Center, Deerfield IL
* countless private parties, church, temple and school events.

"My influences are as wide as my personal musical tastes. I dream to create kid's music that blends real rock & roll and pop music with the salt and spirit of Jim Henson, the wild abandon of Iggy Pop, the playful spirit and integrity of "Jack's Big Music Show" on Noggin, and the pulse pounding excitment of a Super Monster Truck-Pull. My favorite children's musical acts include Peter Himmelman, The Dirty Sock Funtime Band, Ralph Covert, Milkshake, Music For Ardvarks, Justin Roberts, Laurie Berkner, Jeanie B!, TMBG, Zac Morgan, .....I could go on forever. Ton's of great acts out there."

Her new album, Keep On Rockin In The Pre-School, is sure to delight both kids, moms and dads....anyone with a love for rock music! So, break out the ear plugs, because this one goes up to 11!!!
