We’ve got an artist interview this morning with one of my favorite kindie artists, Red Yarn. Andrew Ferguson and his wife Miss Jessie make amazing kid-friendly folk rock. This Portland, Oregon duo have released five albums for kids, with live shows and videos enhanced by the fictional antics and personalities of the duo’s vast and ever-growing collection of puppets they affectionately call “The Critters.” I love Red Yarn’s music, and their videos should part of your YouTube playlist. Here’s “Old Hen Cackled” from Red Yarn’s latest release, Old Barn.
