Duke Otherwise is a showman, a songwriter, a storyteller, a tap dancer, a guitarist, and a lover of children--making them laugh and scream and dance and sing and wonder... But don't think that Mr. Otherwise's music is solely for the young. He has often performed his children's music in rooms with nary a child....and the audiences have gobbled it up. Mr. Otherwise performs just about anywhere you'll have him: Schools, libraries, theatres, living rooms, clubs, churches, parties, enormo-domes, etc. Bringing life, creativity and imagination to any setting. From 'School Library Journal' 17 Dec 2012 '* Multimedia Review: December 2012 Creepy Crawly Love. PreS-Gr 3-In his first album for children, Duke Otherwise hits all of the right notes. Clever lyrics abound in this collection of 12 original songs about topics such as food, animals, and word play. Children will enjoy listening to each song and trying to figure out what the twist may be. From the tune about "my uncle who's an ant" to a lion being given the advice that he would make more friends if he was a vegetarian to trying to find a synonym for cinnamon, Duke keeps listeners engaged. The melodies are unlike anything currently available in children's music. Often infused with Latin influences and with a quality that makes them seem ready for a theatrical stage production, each of the songs is filled with high quality, entertaining lyrics and features a wide array of instruments including clarinet, congas, Farfisa organ, and mustard bottle. This fun, unique collection is a must-have for every collection.-Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library, IL'
