Randy's second not-just-for kids CD made NPR's Top 10 list of 2008. Loquat Rooftop will "introduce kids to authentic-sounding originals as well as Tin Pan Alley numbers, Broadway showstoppers, and Delta blues... Roots rocker Randy Kaplan is one of those happy-they-exist people you can't quite tell is playing kids' music. And yet he is.." -New York Magazine “One of the most exciting newcomers to kids’ music since Dan Zanes.” -PARENTING MAGAZINE “He doesn’t dumb it down for the kids… He just expects them to come along for the ride. And they do.” -TIME OUT NEW YORK KIDS In his songs for children and their families Randy Kaplan blends American Roots, Folk, Alternative, and Pop. He intricately finger-picks and strums his way through unpredictable live shows which, in addition to his original compositions, include Tin Pan Alley gems, Broadway numbers, and Delta Blues songs. He is as indebted to I.B. Singer, Maurice Sendak, and Ogden Nash as he is to Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and Dave Van Ronk. He just never imagined that so many of his groupies would be under the age of nine. www.randykaplan.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
