EGGERTSVILLE LIBRARY -
SONGWRITING IS FUN!
Two songs were written
by the Eggertsville Library audience...
|
Song
#1 - "LOVE" (key of A)
People kiss
Never miss
Our lips
Eating chips again...
Cinderella dances a dream
Ariel eats whipped cream
Mulan fights a war
Belle goes to the bookstore
Love...makes you hungry
|
Song #2 - "FLOWER
SONG" (key of C)
Daffodil, daisy, tulip,
rose
All of those can tickle your nose
They make me sneeze a lot
They make me really hot
Daffodil, daisy, tulip,
rose
I go to a lot of shows
I want to write a song
And you can sing along

A FEW WORDS ABOUT
MATT JAMES...

MATT JAMES - COOL MUSIC FOR KIDS was
founded as the Matt's Music for
KIDS programs in June 2007 by Western New York singer/songwriter Matt Surowiec.
A devoted husband and father, Matt has musical roots based in traditional folk (Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie,
Peter Paul & Mary), classic pop (The Beatles, The Monkees), bubblegum (Fat
Albert & The Cosby Kids, Josie and the Pussycats), and alternative rock
(REM, Barenaked Ladies) and performance roots based on favorite childhood
television shows (Mr. Dressup, Sesame Street, ZOOM, Andy Kaufman). Matt
has designed a fun and energetic series designed to educate and entertain!
Matt Surowiec first received attention in the family and children's
entertainment arena for his Reading Rainbow inspired performances of
"Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas", complete with narration from the
Russell and Lillian Hoban book and music by Grammy and Academy Award
winner Paul Williams from the Jim Henson production. In July 2007, his
record label Tricentennial Music released the first ever Emmet Otter
tribute CD to the delight of Muppet fans everywhere. In its first few
months, the independent release registered over 1000 downloads at iTunes.
In February 2008 Matt released his first CD of original children's music,
"On the MOON", which included the outer space flavored title track;
"Yes I Can", "Yellows", and "Rock and Roll Star", rocking songs of
encouragement; "Goin Fishin", "Pickle in Your Ear", "Polka Dot Sock" and
"I Like Cereal", zany songs of nonsense; "Friends Can Say Hello" and "New
Kid in Town", positive songs about meeting new people; and "Tea With
Alice", an imaginative retelling of Alice in Wonderland. The CD also
features new takes on old standards - "R.I.N.G.O." (to the tune of "B.I.N.G.O.")
and "There's A Hole in the Bucket" (a duet between Matt and Granny Smith,
a character from Matt's shows).
Immediate and future plans for Matt include the production of a children's
TV show called "Pinwheel Parade", the recording and release of "Sing Along
with Matt" (featuring songs performed on Matt's 2008 Summer Tour), and playing fun,
interactive music for kids and families anywhere he can!
Matt plays
Original Eden Kazoo Factory kazoos
exclusively!
Matt is a 2 time ASCAPlus
Award Winner, a Buffalo Music Award Nominee, and a supporter
the
Nobel Peace Prize for Pete
Seeger movement.
