Praised as a "celebrity to kiddos in Chicago and for good reason," Mr. Dave (a.k.a. Dave Hamilton) is about to release his fourth album, Feeling Good (June 9th, targeted to kids 2-8).The album has a diverse array of inspiration - Paul Simon, the Beach Boys, Dan Zanes, and more. The tunes are upbeat and fresh, inspiring toe-tapping and moving from the youngest to oldest members of the family. Mr. Dave's musical career started in the acoustic funk band 56 Hope Road, named #1 Road Warrior Band by renowned
online musical resource, JamBase.com, opening for such artists as Stevie Wonder, Dave Matthews Band, Page
McConnell of Phish, Verve Pipe, and more. In 2014, his most recent release, he realized that he was meant to write and perform for kids, taking his career in a completely different direction. With his wife, Christina, he runs a children's music studio, Mr. Dave Music, in Chicago, where he provides culturally responsive instruction and authentic music education experiences.Feeling Good lives up to its name, with themes of love, positive, and activity. Songs include helpful information about safety, diversity, acceptance, and more, and the catchy tunes mean kids will listen to them over and over again.Feeling Good will be available at CDBaby.com, iTunes, and the Mr. Dave Music Store, 1935 W. Division St., Chicago, IL 60622.
