Album Notes

A 2007 Parents' Choice Award Winner

Have you heard of Lullaby Island?
It’s far across the sea.
Climb into your little bed
And I’ll tell the tale to thee...

This poem leads children on a journey to Lullaby Island. Fairies greet them at the dock and gently breathe sleep songs into their ears. Sometimes there are nightingales, sometimes owls, but always sweet singing and the kind of instruments you might find on a fairy boat, harp, guitar, recorder. If you’re ready, grab a blanket close your eyes and away we sail...

As well as being the mummy of a kindergartener, I run lullaby workshops, teach singing to individuals and groups in the San Francisco Bay Area and write music for theatre and circus.

Jasmine Ojeda created the dreamy artwork which wraps around a 6 panel digipack (those cardboard ones..not a jewel case). The inside panels have fairies holding a banner to welcome you to Lullaby Island. Diana Stork and Randy Clark play Celtic harp and guitar & Jeffrey Wood an award winning producer from Fantasy studios in Berkeley, recorded and produced all 18 songs and two more that didn't fit on the album!.

I hope you enjoy all 54 minutes of this CD. It's dedicated to my son Finlay who sings a little of 'row your boat' over the waves at the beginning and who has made me sing the Gartan Mother's lullaby to him every night for the last 9 months!

The first official critique regarding: 'I'm Here to Sing You to Sleep'

"What an amazing vocal this is Julia! You have that combination of domestic hearth and wild, windswept moors that characterizes the best of Celtic folk singers. This is a faultless performance!"

As soothing for a stressed out mother as it is for a 2 month old infant with colic and her 2 1/2 year old sister. Wonderful.

Wonderfully soothing music

We switched our bedtime routine to include this CD a couple of months ago after receiving it as a gift. Its fabulous! My 2.5 year old sometimes sings the lullabys to her dolls when she puts them down for naps. I've given copies to all my friends with new babies, but its magical for toddlers. And for those of you whose sleeptime routines necessitate listening to the music together for a while -- this is the CD for you! I'm not so musically talented, but really love to sing along with the music while cuddling my daughter. She sings along with the toddler at the beginning, we say the poem together and then I'm humming the songs to myself long after I've put her to bed. Make the move to Lullaby Island. Its such a soothing, beautiful place to spend as much or as little time as your sleep routine requires.

An offering to all parents and children and the lives they touch.

"Lullaby Island is a huge gift at a time when the physical and emotional touch of the human voice is sorely missing in infancy, not to mention in child and adult-hood. The power of being sung to, of being wrapped in a warm blanket of sound which comes from the human heart, has to be the best start any child can have, not only in terms of musical development, but also in feeling safe in the world, in learning to listen and to receive, and above all in knowing it is loved. Through your music, especially if learned and sung by the parent, I am sure you will change the lives of many. This is indeed a peace offering which has the power to vibrate for many generations."
