The Start of Things is already gathering steam on children's radio - Spare The Rock, Spoil The Child, KDHX Musical Merry-Go-Round, Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl, Cottleston Pie (KAOS Olympia, WA) and Pea Green Boat have all been spinning tracks from the new album!
Hope you all enjoy this brand new animated music video for The Froggy Dance, a song featured on my new album, The Start of Things, which will be released on April 21, 2015! Watch the video HERE! The Froggy Dance is based on a Yiddish nonsense poem that my mother and grandmother used to say to me, and it always made me giggle. It has been handed down through the generations of women in my family - and I decided to set it to music and create some additional characters and verses.
The genius of Michael Wertz - unbelievable.
World of Wonder: The Musical, a full-length stage musical for young children and families based on my album World of Wonder, is being developed by a local musical theater company here in San Francisco!

Once again produced by the incredible Allen Clapp at Mystery Lawn Studio, with mind-blowing cover illustration and design by Michael Wertz.

There’s Magic In The Music: Alison Faith Levy’s Big Time Tot Rock
Aug 12, 2014
One of the other dads bends down to hear my daughter over the
band’s acoustic euphony. She blurts out her excitement, her phone chord
curls bouncing in time with the beat.
“{{I have magic in
my hands and I can touch the walls and turn them different colors but
ACTually the magic is in my WHOLE body and if I want to I can BLAST it
all out but there will always be moooore!}}”

This is how it often starts. In the early morning hours kindie rock
favorite Alison Faith Levy wakes up with a tune in her head. She throws
off the covers, hubby still pulling zzzz's, runs into her San
Francisco living room, and furiously writes down some lyrics and chords.
Then the creative process grinds to a halt temporarily while she
readies her family for the day, often singing that morning's tune into
her smartphone while driving her son to school.
