“having kids doesn’t mean it’s time to stop rocking, it’s just the start of a new band”

Hyundai and Rolling Stone couldn’t have said it better!  That’s exactly what happened to our family when we welcomed Elinor Meira on December 8^thlast year.

Music has been important to me since I was little. My mom always sung special family songs to all of us that I now sing to Elinor. I remember my sister and I listening to records, making up dances and don't forgot doing Mousercise! My brother took me to my first concert when I was 12 and after that it was all over. Music was my life. I played guitar in silly bands in middle school and after I graduated, I played bass in a band that did a little touring. Dave was also always in bands growing up. Dave still has to travel a lot to not only play but also sell records/shirts at fests for the record label he runs. So of course when Elinor came we knew music would be a huge factor in her life. We decided not to change our lifestyle and still travel.

Elinor has been going to see live music since she was a month old. She has been to multiple concerts, shows and fests up and down the East Coast and even the West Coast twice. I'm not sure how long she will want to continue coming with us when she gets older but I love letting her experience it. She is now to the point when we put music on she gets so excited and dances. When she was tiny and Dave got out his guitar she would calm down right away and she still loves watching/helping him play. We have Yo Gabba Gabba and Terrible Twos dance parties at home, in the car, in line at the store, eating at a restaurants...and we love it.
