FAMILY STAGE … SPECIAL GUEST BIO
Award-winning musician Jake Differ's lyrics make children laugh or dream, but they’re never simplistic. His rhythms make little feet dance, but they’re rich and varied, and borrow from many different musical styles. You can sing along with his melodies, but they’re fresh and new. Jake’s CDs are much acclaimed in the children’s music world. Jake’s latest album, ZIGGY ZAGGY ROAD, which won a 2008 Parents’ Choice Recommended Award, is no exception. The album touches with joy and sensitivity on the many things that children love and grown-ups cherish: home, friends, animals, tales of adventure – in fact, everything wonderful about life on this planet. Jake has been a professional bass player, guitar player and singer for most of his adult years, and began writing music and recording children’s music several years ago. Visit www.musicbyjake.com
