Attention Parents!! No need to continue to suffer your brains turning to mush from listening to the music currently available for your kids. We are The Rockdoves, and we create and perform cool music for kids made with parents in mind. We are NYC singer-songwriters, and friends, who have played together for the last several years. After talking about our interest in children's music for a quite a while, we had a spontaneous creative moment during a rehearsal and were amazed and thrilled by the kids' song that was born. Since then, we've written a number of positive, thoughtful tunes for children that parents can enjoy as well, and we've also crafted a wonderful live show complete with many interactive elements. We believe that kids deserve music made with artistry, intelligence, humor, and respect, and we bring these values to our writing. Thematically, our music touches on everything from New York City living and nature, to the value of family and home. We knew we were on the right track when we stepped into the studio to record a few demo versions of our kids' songs. We found ourselves laughing and enjoying the process so profoundly that there was no question that we had to share this. So allow us to introduce our project to you here on RocketHub. Our aim is to record and press a full-length children's album. We have put a great deal of thought into our rewards menu. We offer excellent value and fun family experiences in return for your fuel. We hope you'll fuel our project and help us make our creative vision a reality.
With many thanks,
The Rockdoves a.k.a. Kim and Daniel
