Latest News: "Turn Up The Music!" just won its 4th music award: iParenting, Dr. Toy, Parents' Choice, the Dove Foundation. "Turn Up The Music!" is a rockin' addition to its award-winning series of children's CDs and a delightful musical treat for children ages 4-9. Featuring twelve original songs by singer-songwriter Lanny Sherwin, President of Sandman Records (www.sandmanrecords.net), "Turn Up The Music!" encompasses a full musical spectrum, from Motown and Latin to Doo-Wop and Country Rock. Here's what Fran Grauman of About.com says: "Lanny Sherwin has a gift. Not only does he have the gift of musical talent, but he's able to somehow put himself into a kid's head and write songs from that perspective. This music is relaxing and peaceful and at times very funny. I would classify this as 'family music' as the whole family will enjoy it." "Turn Up The Music!" is designed for toe tapping fun, but also delivers many positive messages for children. "The lyrics are a combination of silly and serious while teaching children about life fundamentals," says Lanny Sherwin. "Some of the songs address acceptance and tolerance, doing our best, respect for nature and animals and more...but it is not preachy." He adds, "I try never to write 'down' to kids. They are much more sophisticated about music than people realize. I just try to write for the whole family-kids, parents, and grandparents. Also, there is plenty of humor in "Turn Up The Music!", something we all need more of in today's world. "Turn Up The Music!" is the third children's music CD from Sandman Records and Lanny Sherwin. The first two CDs, "Dream With Me Tonight-Lullabies For All Ages" and "Dream With Me Tonight, Vol. 2 - A Father's Lullabies", were written for ages newborn to 5. They have been an instant success with families nationwide garnering 15 prestigious industry awards including Parent's Choice Award, NAPPA Gold Award, Creative Child Magazine's Seal of Excellence and Children's Music Web Best Toddler CD. Why so many honors? Possibly because of the Sandman Records motto, "Don't Drive Parents Crazy!" Geared towards an older demographic, "Turn Up The Music!" pumps up the volume with unique and insightful songs like "The Monster Masher", "Lima Beans & Liver", and "Don't Squash That Bug!" It is available nationwide in retail stores including Borders and the Sandman Records website. For more information, visit www.SandmanRecords.net or call 805-565-5524.
