puppy dog jig

I'm glad to announce the pre-release concert event for Owen Duggan's new album Puppy Dog Jig, which I played on and co-produced.

Owen's first CD, An Elephant Never Forgets, which I also co-produced, has won numerous awards including a Top Ten International Hit designation from IAIRA, gold medal from NAPPA and a silver medal from the Parents' Choice Foundation.

Puppy Dog Jig features original songs with lyrics and music by Owen, as well as collaborations between Owen and bestselling children's authors Sandra Boynton and Lorijo Metz, Texas music legend Lyle Lovett, and folk star Marty Cooper (who wrote "The Biplane Evermore" and the hit "Little Play Soldiers" for The Kingston Trio as well as "A Little Bit Country" for Donny and Marie), and a beautiful setting of a Rudyard Kipling song from The Jungle Book. You'll also hear my fellow Jazz Protagonists Darren Kuper and Greg Norris on drums and bass, laying down jazz, rockabilly, reggae, and a dozen other delightful beats geared toward making kids move.

Whether or not you get to come to the release, Puppy Dog Jig is something to look for for any kid you know.
