Three-time GRAMMY® nominees Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could get kids out on the dance floor to learn their ABCs. The song is a double throwback: it’s a nod to Brady’s Mom and Dad’s record collection of classic 60’s artists (greats like Elvis, Little Richard, The Platters, Chuck Berry), and a loving look back at the first music Brady wrote for kids and families more than 20 years ago.
Alliteratively moving through the alphabet, playfully associating the letters with musical themes, (“B was born with the beat; R’s got the rhymes, S is swinging, T’s right on time”), Brady and the band modulate, undulate, and accentuate the fun kids can have while learning their letters.
The song was recorded in Brooklyn with seasoned Little Band members — who know a thing or two about rock n roll! Drummer and bassist Larry Eagle and Jeremy Chatzky toured and recorded with Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions Band, keyboardist Seth Farber is an original member of Broadway’s “Ain’t Too Proud: The Temptations Story” and Liz Queler has shared the stage with classic rockers Steve Earle, Richie Havens, and Janis Ian. The track also features guest electric guitarist Matt Beck of Matchbox Twenty and the Rob Thomas Band. The track was mastered by multi-GRAMMY award-winning engineer, Kim Rosen, who most recently won for Best Song with Bonnie Raitt.
Crank it up & have an A-mazingly B-umping and C-razy party!
About Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could
Three-time GRAMMY® nominee Brady Rymer is one of the top talents in the independent family music scene today. Making infectious, high-energy rock ‘n’ roll for kids and families, his trademark smile lights up the band’s live performances and shines brightly in his recordings, expressing the warmth, fun, and positive spirit of the family experience. Catchy melodies and song lyrics connect children to stories of confidence, diversity, friendship, and family.
After more than a decade touring with RCA Records band From Good Homes, sharing the stage with Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews, and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Rymer’s career in children’s music grew along with his family. He assembled a kickin’ band of friends, performing at schools, libraries, and venues like Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, The GRAMMY Museum, and The White House. After twelve CDs and three GRAMMY® nominations (Best Children’s Album 2009, 2015, and 2017), his music has been called a “joyous, genius, melodic gift for anyone with a rock and roll soul,” and his band “might just be the best-sounding band in children’s music,” according to NPR’s All Things Considered. He’s currently working on his 13th studio album, Sunny Side Up.
