DAN ZANES

Dan Zanes & Friends ¡Nueva York! Concert
part of the Finding Home Community Series presented by Beet Street

Ring, ring, doorbell ring – it’s house party time with Dan Zanes, musical star of Playhouse Disney! The Grammy Award-winning recording artist is well-known for his rockin’ band, eccentric hairdo, likeable personality and irresistible, toe-tappin’ tunes for kids of all ages.

Zanes likes to introduce his musical friends to his neighborhood friends, showing that you make beautiful and vibrant music when you share different cultures, techniques, rhythms and styles. Zanes celebrates immigration by building musical bridges to connect people to some of the most interesting and engaging music on the planet.

His albums include the recently released ¡Nueva York!; 2007 Grammy Award-winning Catch That Train!; The Welcome Table: Songs of Inspiration, Mystery and Good Times; the musical memoir It’s a Bam Bam Diddly!, which sounds like the most incredible block party stretching from Jamaica to Brooklyn and spilling out into neighborhoods around the globe.

Zanes was a member of the Del Fuegos during the 1980s, and recorded five albums with the band including the hit single “Don’t Run Wild.” In 1994, he released a solo CD, Cool Down Time. After moving to Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and daughter, he released Rocket Ship Beach (2000), an immediate hit with families around America. New York Times magazine said, “Zanes’ kids music works because it is not kids music; it’s just music – music that’s unsanitized, unpasteurized, that’s organic even.”

More children’s recordings followed, including Family Dance (2001) featuring Loudon Wainwright III and Roseanne Cash; Night Time! (2002) featuring Aimee Mann and Lou Reed; followed by the Grammy-nominated House Party (2003), a rambunctious 20-song collection that includes Deborah Harry, Bob Weir and Philip Glass. Zanes also co-authored two picture books with artist Donald Saaf: Jump Up! and Hello Hello (Little, Brown and Company Books), and appears in the Dan Zanes and Friends concert DVD, All Around the Kitchen! (2005).
