    Ahoy, a chat with the Captain!

    Todays act is a pirate. Pretty much sums it up. However if one looks even with the most slightest, of intent, past the make up, the accent, and the motley crew, what you will find is a complex world of mysterious and magical musings of a world that only in hindsight, seems to exists in fantasy.  And that is where the fun begins. For it’s the invitation into this world where todays guest really does ignite their audiences fascination and willingness to leave what they know behind them and enter a world of controlled chaos, adventure and total abandonment of social norms.  The post Ahoy, a chat with the Captain! appeared first on Benny Time.

    Its a date with Play date

    Todays guests seem, on the surface, to be a fun loving group, totally embodying the idea of dancing, celebration and being oneself. Which is fare enough because that’s what they are. However if you go deeper, listen a little more carefully with intent and indeed look into the history of this act, you will find a group of individuals who have dedicated their lives to throwing their arms around the community they work to empower.  Yes, their music is fun and it is a celebration, but this celebration comes with a much deeper sense of loving because it’s a celebration of one self, the person next to you, and the people everywhere who have found it harder to be heard in the world around them.  The post Its a date with Play date appeared first on Benny Time.

    Take a ride through Diver City

    Theres a common idea with children that in reality the musical scape or genre presented doesn’t really matter, as along as the lyrics one puts to their music is relatable and relevant. Under these circumstances, the music itself is really irrelevant. Not irrelevant in creation but rather anything is up for grabs in the ears of children. A mistake we can often fall into is thinking music for children and families must take on a particular form. But this is changing as a new error of musicians find themselves not only challenging this notion but also simple realising it just isn’t the way it needs to be and it’s about time we treat children with the same sophistication we would treat any discerning music listener.  Enter Diver City, an act that by all accounts, is as much at home in the festivals of adults as it is in the  halls for children and families.  Their absolute dedication to their genre and their desire to bring it to a new audience has seen some of the most exciting music released for our children for years.  The post Take a ride through Diver City appeared first on Benny Time.

    It all seems so Easy Peasy

    Todays guests, are an act who in only two short years and two albums have established themselves, at least from the perspective of a listener, as corner stones to the new emerging scene. Building blocks to what is becoming a whole new generation of musical acts and style presented for children and families. In this episode we get to hear about their process, their commitment to getting it right and their relentless work ethic. The post It all seems so Easy Peasy appeared first on Benny Time.

    Walking in the shoes of Children

    Todays guest is an act that really does seem to just plonk itself firmly into the world of children, as if the instruments have been left out and a bunch of kids have stumbled on them and decided to sing a few songs on whatever they are thinking about at the time. I guess this do-it-yourself honesty can only find its feet in the art of punk so it makes total sense that that is the genre they choose.  Introducing the Punk Rocks Socks. A group of sock puppets by the names of Sheena Gerry and Vern, who as far as I can tell, pretty much live in the shoes of children keeping their feet warm.  Today we are lucky enough to chat with Sheena, aka Jolene Young on what it takes to fill the shoes of children.

    Raymond McGrath Preliminary Sketch 2

    Today my guest is Animator, Writer and Illustrator Raymond McGrath, an artist who is kind of talented beyond compare. You see he is known as an animator which he absolutely deserves for his animation is both exquisite, absolutely versatile and also locked in this world of making the inprobable very real. However when you observe  him through the parts he offers us, what you also find is an incredible story writer, song writer and a dreamer in the most absolute purest form of the term.  The post Raymond McGrath Preliminary Sketch 2 appeared first on Benny Time.

    And its a Yeah Sure, for Yeah Nah

    Today we do a deep dive into the work of Yeah Nah. An artist who has captured the unique ability to speak on behalf of a child who is speaking on behalf of the adult. A quite complex arrangement but one that stirs emotions of nostalgia for our own upbringing and undoubtedly reminding us juts how special our time with our kids are and more importantly just how special it is to them. This is an artist with a genuine heart and one who is happy to wear it on the sleeve of an album. The post And its a Yeah Sure, for Yeah Nah appeared first on Benny Time.
