Very sad news about the Tim Bray Theatre company closing down after 30+ years - countless wonderful kids shows, at least a dozen of which Marshall has been very proud to be involved with.

Another lovely collaboration between Claudia Robin Gunn - Music for Kids and - Choo choo!

Mixed & mastered by Marshall recently.

All aboard!

Choo Choo!! Josephine has arrived!!!

Everyone knows Dolly Parton’s famous Jolene, but maybe not so many folks around the world have got to meet Dunedin’s railway queen ‘Josephine’ - the double Fairlie engine at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum. She’s the train that comes and goes! Introducing a sparkly new slice of country folk perfect for little train enthusiasts and any kid who loves a good yarn - it is out today on all streaming platforms!

Working together, Claudia Robin Gunn - Music for Kids and Em and Me are so excited to bring an old true story of New Zealand’s railway history to life for a new generation of children.
A few years back Claudia Robin Gunn started writing a song for Josephine the train, then at this year’s New Zealand Children’s Music Awards Claudia connected with us about the song ~ and we decided the only thing to do was to finish writing and recording it together.

You can hear the song today live at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum. 1pm at Josephines birthday celebration event.

Artists: Claudia Robin Gunn + Em and Me
Guitar and Bass: Bevan Gardiner
Drums: Joe Smithies
Songwriting: Claudia Robin Gunn, Amanda Goodwin
Producer: Amanda Goodwin
Additional Mix and Mastering: Marshall Smith
Label: Little Wild Music
