Introducing... Banana Man!

He's long, he's yellow, and he's finally here! We're so very excited to share the first (and so far, only) music video we've ever released—a family collaboration that we are all so incredibly proud of:

#PotassiumRichMusic

 Our family band is playing a free family friendly show today (Saturday 3/23) at the SFC Farmers' Market in Sunset Valley from 9:30a-10:45a and 11:15a to 12:30pm. Come, hang out, and get some amazing food!

Edit2: Okay!!! We're on for tomorrow, January 20th. See details below.

Edit: The show we will be on has been postponed to Saturday the 20th because the lovely host is under the weather. So tune in a week from tomorrow when they expect they'll be feeling much better!

Rockaroni and Cheese will be played on the Radio Active Kids show this Saturday January, 13. The show is from 8-10am ET and can be found on the FM dial at 103.3 fm in Asheville NC! It's also syndicated in a few other markets, though I'm not sure which and when... So you can just stream it live here: http://www.ashevillefm.org/show/radio-active-kids

Or just listen to the podcast of the episode after the broadcast, right here: https://anchor.fm/radio-active-kids

Rockaroni & Cheese rocks the radio!

Rockaroni and Cheese will be getting some radio play this weekend on our favorite radio show: Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child ! The song they will be playing is We Are Family. This song features all 5 of us (Adam, Krisdee, Milo, Eliot, and Emmet) on one track. Emmet's performance is extra special because, though he sings in some of the choruses as the 11 year old he is today, most of his audio was recorded when he was only a year old. (Thanks to Michael Schatz for recording it and keeping it safe for us all these years.) It also features the amazing Vi "The Fiddler" Wickam. (Fans may remember him playing the villain in our movie found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygjz5w4u96M )

In chronological order (though all times are local so it may look out of order) it's my understanding we will be heard on

Our first music album is going live November 10th!!!

Rockaroni and Cheese started in the spring of 2008 when Milo and DADam played their first show. Milo, almost 2, wailed on the drums while dad tried to keep up playing keys and singing... Since that time Milo's 2 brothers (Eliot and Emmet) have joined the band, they posted some pretty huge fan films on YouTube (Little Batman and Robin etc.), they played a ton of shows, and now... more than 15 years since all this fun started...they're releasing their first album! It will be live at all the usual places on November 10th, but if you pre-order the album on iTunes you can get their hit track Banana Man now: https://music.apple.com/us/album/rockaroni-cheese/1712592616
