With a ten-year track record of glowing critical acclaim, having picked up fourteen national awards along the way, the beloved "free-range, organic" duo Hullabaloo raises the bar even higher with their 11th studio CD, Shy Kid Blues, set for release in May.
Hullabaloo is Steve Denyes and Brendan Kremer, buddies since kindergarten. Shy Kid Blues mixes music and spoken word to tell the (mostly) true story of their friendship, with Hullabaloo's down-home, good-times musical ebullience and infectious humor at the forefront. In telling their story, Steve and Brendan want to let kids (and parents) know that shyness doesn't need to be a limitation. Shy kids are capable of doing anything they set their minds to! Explains Steve Denyes, "In an era when kids seem to have an overabundance of 'screen time,' we really wanted this to be a project where the audio would inspire them to create a picture in their minds rather than have one pop up on a screen. In recording the monologues, we were inspired by classic radio shows like Prairie Home Companion and more modern versions like This American Life and Radio Lab, where stories are told in conjunction with sound effects that spark the imagination."Shy Kid Blues will be available at hullabalooband.com, cdbaby.com, iTunes, and virtually all online music services and retailers.
