Mon, 11 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0700

I want to welcome two very talented musicians to my band, my new drummer Scott Liebnow, and Errol Brown on bass guitar. We survived our first gig yesterday at the very cold and wet ADL Walktogether in Lincoln Park. We didn't have a lot of rehearsal time because I had the flu this week, but Scot and Errol pulled through like champs and I look forward to a long and successful playing relationship with both of them. Welcome to the wild ride!! Scott runs his own children's record label, check him out at www.littlemanmusic.com! And thanks to all the brave kids who fought the rain to cheer us on yesterday, WE LOVE YOU!!

Cookie Magazine Reviews "Keep On Rockin In The Pre-School"

Sun, 25 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0700

Cookie Magazine, July-August 2006 "Mindy Hester plunders the melodies of famous songs to create clever parodies. The title track sends up Neil Young; a Bon Jovi hit celebrates newly mobile toddlers; a Johnny Cash riff becomes a song about crayons. Lots of fun for rock-savvy parents."
