Its winter in Soundzania, but its not very cold so far this year. Hopefully, you’re all faring well too.
The new Soundzania Elementary School has been making its way into people’s homes over the last 2 months. If you have not purchased your copy, place your order today!
If you have purchased your copy, first of all, Thanks !! If you are enjoying the CD, please help spread the word to others by sharing our website http://www.soundzania.com (where they can listen to some songs), or telling them they can pick it up at itunes.com/scottflory
Halloween is here again and all the instruments in Soundzania get dressed up like scary people – ha ha. Anyway, we’re looking forward to a fun fall, and — oh, wait, AAACKKKK whats that ???!!!?? It looks like a music CD !! aaaaaaaaahhhhhh Scary news - our third album is almost ready !
We have been working hard this month and have a production schedule for “Soundzania Elementary School” to be available on December 13th. We are very excited!!
If you would like to pre-oder the CD, you can do that now and be one of the first to have your hands on the new CD. You can pull those other two CDs out of rotation if you like. We will ship the CDs to you starting December 13th. Place your order now.
Wow – its pretty hot in Soundzania! But, hey, its summer, I think its supposed to be hot. Time to jump in a pool or through a sprinkler.
In June, Soundzania visited the Ashland Farmers Market. That was a great time! We have some video tape from the show. We edited together a few of the songs and have it here for you –
Where did that funny balloon hat come from?? At one point, we walked on through the farmers market playing “Soundzania”. While we did that, we walked past a vendor from the market that made balloon shapes. He came running up and placed the hat on my head as we were marching by. Awesome hat – Thanks !!

These past few days have been the most beautiful weather in Soundzania ! I hope you’re enjoying some where you are. With the summer comes farmer’s markets – and they are all around. You should head on down to one and pick up some fresh goodies!
Soundzania has been invited to come play some music for a very special farmer’s market on June 25th in Ashland, VA – The Ashland Farmer’s Market.
Now, this market is special as it is, but they are doing something extra special on June 25th. They are having a kids day where the kids are the farmers bringing their wares to market. It should be a great time!
So, if you’re local – come on out and enjoy the market. If you’re not – sit back, relax and start enjoying the summer months!

I just ate a bunch of jellybeans, and so have the kids. I also spent the day outside in balmy spring weather. A very nice spring in Soundzania.
Soundzania is always happy to help out a charity that is devoted to kids and families. We’ll donate CDs or schedule a performance if you have one that you’re involved in. Recently, a friend of Soundzania mentioned a charity their family is involved in – the Samaritan House in Ohio. They provide emergency shelter for homeless women with children. Since Soundzania is kind of a long way away from Ohio, I offered to ship some Soundzania On Safari CDs out to the shelter.
Hopefully, the Soundzania discs can bring a little music into the lives of some families in need.
If you work with a charity that helps families and children and would like to bring Soundzania to them, please let me know.
Spring is coming – I’m certain – we’ve just had a flood of rain last week and today the kids and I were hiking with only light jackets on!
Spring also seems to be the time that pre-schools want people to come play music. So, just about a week ago, I packed up all my instruments (friends) and brought them over to Good Shepherd Preschool (where my children attended). I’ve included a video clip below for your entertainment or bewilderment – whichever fits. My personal highlight happened as I was showing the kids the CDs I had made and one of them shouted – “I have that CD!” Yes, her mom had recently picked up a copy.
Anyway, I am just about over losing the extra hour of sleep from the spring forward – I hope you all are doing well.
About half the country has had snow in the last week or so – amazing !! Everyone dug out and got their power back on? I hope so.
Here in Soundzania, we’re going to start some more recording sessions in February. The long awaited third album (thereby completing the master trilogy of children’s anthem bop) is making headway.
Once we have any new mixes or rough cuts of the songs, we’ll be sure to share them here on the blog to let you comment and criticize.
Stay warm everyone and if you need to get one of our CDs or a shirt, we’ll share the love a little for February and give you a nice 28% discount (28 days you know). To get the coupon code, you need to subscribe to the newsletter here.
No scary things this time around. Just a quick video from a recent block party in Del Ray where Soundzania had a chance to play. Lee and Andy joined in as well. We’ll share one video here now, and more later, stay tuned.
Whoa – its time for school !! The weather has significantly cooled off this week in Soundzania and the kids have all got their school supplies and haircuts and are ready for the first day. Can you hear the school bus?
Time to get down to business on the album though. We only have about 3 months to finish the Soundzania Elementary School album!
Last month I mentioned a visitor came to the studio. Everyone is welcome to bring their kids on by the studio for a quick tour of how we make the music here in Soundzania. This family brought a video camera and edited down a few clips of their visit:
