I am thrilled to share with you Suzi Shelton’s newest Music CD “Tomboy in a Princess Dress”.  Our family has been enjoying listening to Suzi’s music.  “Tomboy in a Princess Dress” by Suzi Shelton will be released on December 11th.   You can listen to these 3 songs from Suzi Shelton on SoundCloud:

1. Tomboy in a Princess Dress
2. Pony Boy
3. Smile in My Heart

All of the songs were a hit with my family!  My favorite song is “Tomboy in a Princess Dress” because it is cheerful, catchy, and my girls have been known to wear princess dress up clothes while playing tag, climbing trees or other fun activities.  The song “Tomboy in a Princess Dress” has been stuck in my head for several days now.   Our girls LOVE Suzi’s music and keep asking to listen again!  It has been a huge hit in our home.  Suzi’s music is perfect for kids who enjoy listening to cheerful music in the car, while playing or just for fun.

More information about Suzi Shelton and her inspiration for her newest album:

Award winning NYC Kindie singer/songwriter Suzi Shelton is getting ready to release a new EP with her brand new music video “Tomboy In A Princess Dress” on December 11th. Originally inspired by her seven year old daughter, this song portrays some pretty active and strong girls who also love to wear princess dresses, tiara, and tutus. “I can climb the tallest treetop, barefoot without a care. Tough as nails and fast as lightening, braids and ribbons in my hair.” The eponymous title track “Tomboy in a Princess Dress” is written for families to celebrate girls who embody extraordinary girl power whether it’s climbing a mountain (literally or figuratively), riding a skateboard or starting a water balloon fight…while not diminishing the need to express themselves in dress up. Suzi’s new release features 3 brand new recordings with her rockin’ band including “Tomboy in a Princess Dress,” “Smile in My Heart” featuring her daughter Emma on backup vocals and traditional song“Pony Boy.” It also contains the brand new music video for “Tomboy in a Princess Dress, ” produced by Roley Poley Productions.

On “Smile in My Heart” Emma makes her recording debut, although she has been performing at Suzi’s concerts for years as part of the backup group “The Gumdrops.” “Pony Boy” is an upbeat, sweet, traditional folk song and features Chicago-based children’s artist, and kindie pal Little Miss Ann. The EP was produced by Marc Bazerman and features Suzi’s band including Steve Elliot on guitars and banjo, Matt Clohesy on bass (both upright and electric) and Rob Heath on drums as well as Erin Hewgley on cello, and the Gumdrops, Samantha and Sabrina van Putten.

Suzi is also a local mom blogger who writes about her parenting experiences with a 7 and a 13 year old, and life as a kindie rocker. She has been in the children’s music industry for over 10 years and has a great FB presence and twitter following. She is also the host of a series of music and movement videos for Gymboree Play + Music. She has performed at Symphony Space and The White House, and is a regular at 92YTribeca’s B.Y.O.K. (Bring Your Own Kids) and Madison Square Park’s Outdoor Summer Concert Series. She has also traveled and performed to her young fans in St. Louis, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Washington D.C. and as far away as Portland and San Francisco.*
