I was pleased to learn a few weeks ago that I received the 2018 "Best Children's Song" Award from the Ohio Music Awards. The song was "Monster Under My Bed" a fan favorite and one that gets requested all the time. This is the third time one of my songs was chosen as Best Children's Song from Ohio Music Awards. I'm honored and super thankful with this news! What an exciting way kick off 2019.
​
I really appreciate the support from so many friends and fans of my music over the years. The interesting thing about doing music for kids and families for as long as I have (over 20 years) is your audience replenishes itself. I've watched kids grow up and out of my music as other kids grow up and into my music. In the last few years I've started meeting parents at my shows who grew up listening to my songs and now they're coming to my shows with their own kids. I'll be honest the first couple times this happened it kind of freaked me out. But then I started getting used to it and the idea and even began to be excited for it to happen... I'm honored to be part of the growing up years of multiple generations. I also hear from parents and grandparents all the time who "confess" they listen to my music even though their kids are now "grown-up". That always makes me smile and it also brings to mind a Fred Rogers quote I love. Fred once  said, "The child is in me still and sometimes not so still." I think that's a good thing and something most adults should be reminded of.
 
I've included the press release we sent to media outlets below. I thought it would be fun to share it with our friends and also hoping you guys might be willing to share it with your friends or even local media types. You can download the PDF File by clicking the link below. It's because of the continued support of fans and friends who listen and share my music and ideas about kids, family, faith and parenting that has kept me going for more than two decades!

Happy New Year!
​Chip
