Thanks to Kathy from Kids Corner on WXPN for reminding me that it's Valentine's Day! I'd been trying to write a song about Valentine's day for years but they all felt too sweet and saccharine and eventually got abandoned. Then I remembered the weird anxiety I felt around this holiday as a child being forced to give cards to everyone. And instead of a sweet song, this one came out and it was so fun to sing. Please enjoy this anti-valentine's day song on this valentine's day.
Watch our award winning musical from your living room! Due to popular demand the puppet-powered eco-musical is now available for families to watch at home.

CURIOUS tells the story of a young girl and her nonbinary sibling who organize their community to fight for clean air. Inspired by Philly Thrive's victorious community-powered shut down of our local oil refinery, and the youth-led climate justice movement, the Ants deliver with humor and harmony, leaving audiences hopeful and singing along.
Fun fact: schools can get the script at @songsforteaching and perform Curious in their own classrooms!

Hi
Hooray! Today's the day that Triple Rainbow releases the title track from their upcoming (Jan. 2022) album "YOU ARE MAGIC."

BREAKING...
Don't worry. This is very good news.
I can now announce the guests for the next two episodes of the LLoyDeeLloyD Show.
On Tuesday, January 12th, at 10:30am ET I'll be chatting with The Uncle Devin Show and Kathy O'Connell about how to talk to kids about events that are upsetting and possibly traumatic. These are two of America's most important voices in family media as the hosts of WEE Nation Radio and Kids Corner on WXPN respectively. They know how to talk to kids and they bring very different perspectives and backgrounds to the issue. The show will be appropriate for all ages. In addition to talking we'll be sharing music with each other (of course!)
Then on Monday, January 18th we'll be celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with a visit from master kora player Yacuoba Sissoko. Can you believe it? 10:30 am ET.
Both shows are right here on the Dees FB page. Spread the word!
It was a beautiful day in Brooklyn when Amelia Robinson/Mil's Trills heard I was in town and asked me to meet her for a bagel and an impromptu songwriting session. We sat on a random stoop (how New York!) and wrote a lovely song about getting through the rough times.
This was more than a year ago. We couldn’t have known how much we were going to need this song in these difficult days. How blessed am I to have such wonderful friends to make music with?
We decided to record this together and now you can hear “Seize The Day” TOMORROW when my EP, Good Foot, releases everywhere. (PS. our good friends at Kids Corner on WXPN are already spinning it! Thanks y’all!)
