Biography

Here are two things you should know right off about Dan Zanes, two things that set him apart from the huge and festive field of people who have in the past few years begun making music for families and people of all ages in a way that is, frankly, changing the face of America, or the sound of it, at least. First, he is making homemade family music and encouraging similar behaviors in friends and… Read more in Amazon's Dan Zanes Store

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpected Pleasure, July 29, 2008
By 
Timeflows (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Grow a Family Band Gift Set ( with Bonus CD and Music Booklet) (Audio CD)
When I bought this set I seriously doubted that we would ever become a family band, but the children, aged 2,3 & 8 loved the songs so much that they were soon begging for the cobwebs to be dusted off my guitar and making shakers and other instruments for themselves.Dan Zanes says that your voices are enough to start your band and I had not realized how much pleasure performing together in the lounge for just ourselves would be. The songs are quirky and appeal to kids and adults alike and we take the whole set on long journeys, which now constitutes band practice! We could not recommend this more highly to a family of any age. Just urge yourself and any other adults to get over the shyness and worries about lack of talent because your kids won't care. They will be having too much fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dan Zanes! Dan Zanes!, October 30, 2007
This review is from: How to Grow a Family Band Gift Set ( with Bonus CD and Music Booklet) (Audio CD)
Seeing and hearing Dan Zanes on Disney Channel with my son, I decided to buy the collection of CDs for my son's second birthday. Oliver loves this music so much that we listen to "Dan Zanes! Dan Zanes!" each afternoon and evening per his request. The variety of music contained on each of the CDs (and across the five CDs in the set) is not only wonderfully entertaining for Oliver, but is a pleasure to listen to as an adult. Full of many classic childrens songs, folk music from America and the West Indies, and a number of great collaborations with artists such as Aimee Mann, Susanne Vega, Lou Reed, and Father Goose, this collection is ALL GOOD. In an age where it seems as though every CD I buy for myself has a "b-side" full of mediocre tracks, these CDs are great start to finish. Not only have they made car trips - short or long - enjoyable, the songs on these CDs will have you and your child dancing "all around the kitchen" (and the rest of the house too)!

5.0 out of 5 stars You can never have enough Dan Zanes!, August 6, 2007
By 
Rafencat (Parsonsfield, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Grow a Family Band Gift Set ( with Bonus CD and Music Booklet) (Audio CD)
This collection of music is priceless! Whether you have no clue as to whom Dan Zanes and friends are or have listened to him during his Del Fuegos days...this is as close to a complete family collection as you'll get. My son had one of the cd's and his dvd before we saw them in concert in June ('07), so for his birthday we got this set. It's amazing!
I highly recommend it!
