SONGS TO HOWL & SING

little coyotes

Indie folk band LITTLE COYOTES have just released their first album which is available now digitally on all major music platforms. SONGS TO HOWL & SING is full of tunes to inspire children to have a lifetime of love for the outdoors and to embrace having family adventures in wild places. Fronted by vocalist Becca Mohler and produced by her Grammy-nominated husband Billy, LITTLE COYOTES' SONGS TO HOWL & SING is a blend of nostalgic folk melodies reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian, Donovan, and Simon and Garfunkel providing an evocative listening experience. Each song is crafted with a nod to folk artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Becca and Billy Mohler own Cal Heights Music in Long Beach, California, a music school known for fostering creativity and musicality in students of all ages. Their popular caregiver-and-me class for children ages 0 - 4, which encourages a love for music and the outdoors from an early age, was an important inspiration for SONGS TO HOWL & SING. Their teaching roots provide a personal and authentic touch to the tunes performed in this album.

“Little Adventure” teaches colors by identifying natural elements like green moss and orange poppies, while “National Parks” takes families on a musical road trip through the wonders of America’s natural landscapes. The geometric “Shapes Are Everywhere” has an upbeat, ‘60s, “Mrs. Robinson” feel, while “Little Campfire” is all about cooperation and teamwork.

“Songs to Howl & Sing holds a special place in my heart, as it reflects my deep love for music, my passion for teaching children, and my desire to evoke the nostalgic essence of childhood,” Becca Mohler remarked to ageekdaddy.com. “My aim is to transport listeners back to that enchanting world, where every moment was infused with a sense of possibility and wonder.”

The album is aimed for an audience of children 1 - 8 years old has ten songs with a running time of twenty minutes. 

Track List

1. Little Adventure 
2. Looking Out My Window 
3. I Love All The Months 
4. Grow Wild And Free 
5. National Parks 
6. Shapes Are Everywhere 
7. AEIOU

ORGY OF THE DAMNED

orgy of the damned

Saul Hudson, the GRAMMY® Award-winning guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee knopwn professionally as SLASH, has released his sixth solo album, Orgy of the Damned, which takes the former Guns & Roses band member back to the genre that has always been at the heart of his playing: the Blues. Orgy of the Damned revitalize blues classics with the album’s handpicked diverse guest vocalists, which include Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Chris Stapleton, Iggy Pop, Gary Clark Jr., Billy F. Gibbons (ZZ Top), Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes), Dorothy, Paul Rodgers, Demi Lovato, Tash Neal, and Beth Hart. The album is available through Amazon.com on CD, MP3 and Vinyl formats.

SLASH selected standard blues songs made famous by Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson, and tracks from blues rock bands like Peter Green‘s Fleetwood Mac and Steppenwolf. He even strays from the blues for the Motown tracks from the Temptations and Stevie Wonder, highlighting the inherent blues influence underlying all great music from the 60s and 70s. SLASH reunites with two of his bandmates from his Blues Ball Band outfit in the 90s, Johnny Griparic (bass), and Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis (keys), and brought on drummer Michael Jerome and singer/guitarist Tash Neal who round out his Blues band that peforms in this album. Orgy of the Damned debuted as the #1 Blues Album in the U.S and the U.K., #2 on the U.S. Rock Albums Chart, as well as achieving Top 10 Chart positions in 7 countries around the world.

slash orgy of the damned

“There was definitely a lot going on with this idea of creating a Blues record," SLASH remarked to ageekdaddy.com. "Back in the 90’s, I had a drunken Blues band that had some great songs, we played a lot of shows with some great players, a couple of which are on this record. I always thought back then it would be great to record an album of these songs, but it was such an impromptu thing, and we never took it to that level. Fast forward all these years and I am still going out to Blues clubs and jamming with bar bands and at some point, I decided I really wanted to make this record."
