The Musical Elective for this week is: Stuart Stotts.This one is for all of you on what Kathleen Edwards (our first ME of the week) referred to last night at her killer Majestic Theatre show as "Raffi time." Meaning Mommies and Daddies with rockin' taste but toddlers to please.
Stuart is a local Madison songwriter and storyteller. His new CD Everybody Started Out Small features the classic "Eight Hugs a Day" which is catchy, sweet, and exactly what I want to hear my kid singing.
We first met Stuart at a performance at Madison's Overture Center for the Arts Saturday morning Kids in the Rotunda event. These shows are always great, but Stuart was extra special. He's a witty, intelligent singer with a great voice and infectious smile. He's very into audience participation, and managed to get several daddies up on stage for "When Daddy's Dance." My own husband even got up there!
There is a lot of crappy kids music out there these days--you know, stuff that when the CD shuffle in the car brings it around you just cringe. Stuart's music is an exception, and for those of us living in Madison, that's a point of pride. Check him out!
