This fall caps the weirdest and wildest year in memory. Family music artists, like the rest of us, have been stuck at home. That means LOTS of great new tunes are in store for us this fall. Here’s a sampling of new singles for October and November:
Frances England –– “Glue” – The GRAMMY-nominated artist releases a fresh song that pays tribute to all the people we’re stuck with during what she calls the “CoronaCoaster.” In November, Frances will release a new EP of new and re-imagined songs called Honey, on the new children’s label 8 Pound Gorilla Records. Stay tuned for a new single by Genevieve Goings called “Grateful,” coming just in time for Thanksgiving on November 20th. www.francesengland.com and www.8poundgorillarecords.com
