SteveSongs, a Rounder Records artist and one of the hardest working performing artists in children’s music, plans a special show with his band and backup performers The Sensational Sillies at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts on Saturday, October 6th. Available for the first time will be the brand new SteveSongs EP featuring a six-minute sneak peak of the forthcoming Marvelous Day music DVD (due out in early 2008 from Rounder Records) plus three newly recorded songs.

Music and movement, dancing and singing, loads of fun! Steve’s performances are engaging, entertaining and age appropriate. Steve’s music, sense of humor and playful energy are perfectly suited to capture and keep the attention of young children while providing enough musical sophistication to keep the adults in the groove. Steve has won two Parents’ Choice Gold awards

Since giving up his job as a business consultant in the late 1990s to pursue his love of music and passion for teaching children, Steve Roslonek (creator and namesake for SteveSongs) has been touring the country and developing a vast repertoire of family-friendly tunes that he has recorded over five albums.

Steve’s newest CD, Marvelous Day!, is a collection of 16 tunes for parents and children ranging from funky rock to ska to flute-y folk and power pop, all of which invite sing-along participation for the whole family. The CD also blends a sophisticated mix of instruments, thanks to longtime SteveSongs band mates Anand Nayak (Daisy Mayhem Band) and Matt Steckler (Dead Cat Bounce). Children helped write three of the original songs on Marvelous Day!. “Water Cycle” was created with a 2nd grade class in Killingly, CT, “Ducks Hatching” originated in a 3rd grade class in New Rochelle, NY, and “Spyrtle the Turtle” sprang from a songwriting workshop with 3rd graders in Atlanta, GA. “Music and songwriting help these students connect with the material they’re learning in class,” Roslonek explains. “I’m endlessly fascinated by the different ways that children learn and how music can help make the curriculum interesting and engaging for kids.”

Steve Songs

We have taken our two children to see Steve 3 times and he gets better every time! I cannot say enough positive things about him or his music. More than worth the time and money!
