Bluegrass Babies

Here’s a cute video for young children designed to pique their natural curiosity about music, using animation and bluegrass.

YouTube Preview Image
It was created by Caroline Roberts, a children’s book illustrator, and Paul Castle, who plays with the British folk/bluegrass group The Rosinators.

Roberts tells us that The Bluegrass Babies are already rehearsing for a second act.

“Knowing how strongly small children respond to roots music and especially Bluegrass this project just sort of naturally evolved.  It’s just for fun really, but now we’ve started we’ve become addicted and are working on more songs!”
