Music Minute: Mr. Jon & Friends - Rock & Rhyme

From out of the DC metro area comes unanimous praise for the Parents' Choice Award®-winning kindie band Mr. Jon & Friends, powered for nearly a decade by the husband-and-wife duo of Jon and Carrie Lewis.  Now kids and families across the country can tune into the energy, fun, and sweetness of Mr. Jon & Friends'brand of Raffi-inspired good sounds with the band's third album, Rock & Rhyme.

Mr. Jon & Friends keeps laughter, dancing, and audience involvement at the forefront, performing an astounding variety of delightful and eminently child-appropriate material that includes sing-along songs, counting songs, dancing songs, storytelling songs, interactive songs, lullabies, and more.


Prior to his adventures with Mr. Jon & FriendsJon Lewis spent a decade playing shows and recording albums for adults while relishing the excitement of appearing on TV, being a finalist in a national songwriting competition, and receiving international radio airplay from Belize to Ireland. With his wife and performing partner, classically trained pianist/songwriter/vocalist Carrie Lewis, he started a family in 2008, and by 2009 Jon found himself presenting programs and shows for large groups of kids as a staff member in the children's department of the downtown Frederick, MD public library. These two sparks ignited Jon's interest in songwriting and performing for kids. His list of venues quickly grew to include children's festivals along with notable bookings like Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA.

Rock & Rhyme is available at all digital retailers, including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, CDBaby, and more, as well as at Mr. Jon & Friends shows. Streaming is available on YouTube and Spotify.
