Children's
Music-A true family show, this will appeal to grown-ups as well as
children of all ages (not just the "Little tykes"). Bill will
appear with his "Green Up Band" and will have his slide
presentation on hand, featuring slides from EARTHWATCH, his own photos and
others, for an exquisite display. With the words to some of his songs on
the slides, everyone will be singing along with reckless abandon, right
from the start!
Some original
songs will include "Green UP", sung on his award winning album
with the likes of Tom Paxton, Tom Chapin, Bob from Sesame Street and more.
Also "One Earth", sung on his album with Leah Salonga (Les Mis')
will be included. Bill's Band will include first rate musicians such as,
Jenifer Condon vocals (Abba Revue) and Dwayne Condon vocals and piano
(Robert Shaw Chorale). There's a good chance that some of Bill's friends
will show up to join in as well!
Old favorites
such as Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" will be on tap
as well as the "Garden Song", "Garbage" and more.
Come, join in,
sing along, be a part of this inspirational show to help make our country
and our planet Green!
"Bill's
instrumental diversity and the quality of his accompanying musicians
carried his environmental awareness message across effectively with
dignity and excellent musicality. His rapport with such a large and
diverse audience is another outstanding feature of his style. Bill's
ability to control audience volume, spirit and musical awareness during
his interactive songs is just terrific. I'm glad to have a chance to add
my voice to the Green Up movement in colorful praise of Bill Shontz's
growing artistry (and that's no garbage either!)." M. Sue Iovieno,
Visual & Performing Arts Coordinator, Mansfield, MA.
