Album Notes

After two decades spent making music for grown-ups with groups like Ape, Farmgirl, the Swamis and the Badass Chickenbones, Lane Murchison started teaching music in San Francisco\'s private schools and realized there was a real shortage of fun, intelligent music for kids that didn\'t grate on parents\' nerves.

On \"Bulldozers & Bugs\", Lane and fellow musician James Nash create music that\'s instantly accessable to kids without sacrificing musical style, playing instruments ranging from guitar and mandolin to bongos and aluminum cans. \"Bulldozers & Bugs\" is part of a new generation of children\'s music that\'s fun for kids and pleasing to adults. The album is a complete package, with well-crafted songs backed up by musical talent, superior showmanship and fun.

Lane\'s music features infectious, entertaining songs about kid-friendly topics like hugging bugs and driving heavy machinery. With clever lyrics, fun rhymes and a blend of original tunes, old favorites, forgotten classics and re-purposed rock songs, the music offers a variety and depth often absent in children\'s music.

Lane Murchison is an accomplished, multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and commercial composer. He is demand as a performer at children\'s events like the San Francisco Symphony\'s annual \"Deck the Halls\" gala, as well as at grown-up venues like the San Gregorio General Store and the Fillmore, as the main act and opening for musical greats like Bob Weir, Mick Taylor, Santana and surf legend Link Ray.
