Liz, Holly, & The Jolly Lollies

My oldest child turned 7 last month. Starting at about 3 months, we began taking classes with Music Together of Charlotte. He took classes until he was 5, and my twins took classes from infancy until about 3 1/2. We LOVE Music Together of Charlotte. Yes, the music is great, but the TEACHERS are amazing! Amazing teachers and amazing people. One of our amazing teachers, Liz, is also now an amazing mommy, and she and some friends have recently formed an AMAZING band, Liz, Holly, & The Jolly Lollies. Their first album, Wishin' Volume 1 was just released. Every song is fantastic...I love it, my kids love it, and trust me, you and yours should love it, too!!

Their story, from Liz:

"Holly and I are both moms of young children and early childhood music teachers. We are constantly brewing music. In other words, to get our children to put on their shoes, cheer up, or soothe them to sleep, we are singing them through it. When we met 3 years ago (at a Music Together conference) we started talking about a dream of making a children's album. After years of dreaming we decided to make it a reality. We recorded the songs on our phones. Brought them to a local producer (Eric Lovell) and made the plan to record the album."

So, download the album, HERE, and mark your calendar for their live show coming up at Imaginon on July 29 as part of their Terrific Tuesdays series. You can reserve tix on July 16th at 10am (they will go FAST).

Blessings,
The Buzz
