Description :
Shad Weathersby is a singer-songwriter-guitarist who has performed numerous shows for children, both in their grade school classrooms and at large children expos in front of audiences of thousands. Shad knows that children love songs about animals and insects so he has populated his new album, CHOMP CHOMP, with a menagerie of them.
Shad’s original songs describe an elephant that has no trouble flying but many problems landing, a disobedient roach, a fast-eating chomp-chomping caterpillar, a dachshund “sausage dog,” and a hungry chicken and hog looking around the barnyard for food.
Weathersby strongly believes the starting point with children’s music should be entertaining fun. THEN he likes the idea that you can open youngsters minds to new ideas and sneak in a little education.
Weathersby puts his ideas into practice on his first album of music for children aged approximately three to ten. The recording, titled CHOMP CHOMP, contains a dozen original folk-pop songs that get children laughing at funny animals and insects while also introducing them to Christopher Columbus, foreign countries and how calendars work.
A popular folk-pop singer-songwriter-guitarist for the past few decades and with several albums of music for adults, New Orleans native Shad Weathersby decided to take all the children’s music he had written and put it on his fourth CD, CHOMP CHOMP. The decision stemmed from watching his own son grow up, going on campouts together and singing around campfires, and wanting to offer other parents fun, wholesome and occasionally educational musical material that their children can enjoy.
Weathersby got his start in two folk-pop groups that toured extensively, Huck’s River and The Hooligans. Shad also has performed onstage and in the studio with best-selling new age pianist George Winston. Weathersby says his biggest musical influences are The Neville Brothers, Bob Dylan and The Band, CSNY and Tom Waits.
