Not Naptime – Justin Roberts 2003


About the Album: Multi award-winning artist JUSTIN ROBERTS releases his newest collection of tunes, Not Naptime. Zippy lyrics and smart musical arrangements make Not Naptime a treat for grownups and kids alike. Justin explores the world with a fresh eye - from the importance of installing a "Night Light" to the exquisite pleasures of a summer night. Don't get caught when "Brontosaurus Got a Sweet Tooth" or when Mom wants you to take a bath after only "Three Days" of glorious griminess.
While most of Not Naptime is pure fun, some of the lyrics offer solace and inspiration for facing everyday problems - the school bully or the prospect of moving to a new home. And every kid will recognize serious the powers of persuasion employed when a kid asks his parents for a new "D-O-G."

"These songs speak to issues I remember were important when I was growing up, " explains Justin. "I want to make music that's fun but also write songs that speak to the whole of a child's experience."

While all of the messages are positive and wholesome for children, the music is sophisticated and catchy enough for a grownup audience. "Some of my biggest fans are in their 20s," Roberts quips.

Justin Roberts is an acclaimed folk-pop singer-songwriter with a gentle and youthful voice. Formerly with the Minneapolis band Pimentos for Gus, Roberts also recorded a solo release for adults called Bright Becomes Blue. His career as a children's musician began a few years ago when he was a Montessori preschool teacher and music director, writing original songs related to monthly themes in the school curriculum. The song "Apple Tree" written during this time became one of the highlights of Roberts' first family recording, Great Big Sun.

Roberts' second family release Yellow Bus won national acclaim and awards, including Gold Awards from both Parents' Choice and the National Association of Parenting Publications. It also was selected as one of Amazon.com's "Top 10 Children's CDs of 2001."

Label: Big Kids Productions
