Dan Zanes and Bill Sherman

With his band Dan Zanes and Friends, Dan Zane has toured the world, sharing handmade 21st-century social music with enthusiastic crowds of kids and kid sympathizers. From thrift shop basements to Carnegie Hall, from Brooklyn to Bahrain and beyond, the Grammy Award winner has been introducing new songs and reconnecting people to songs that have always been there, and still are — although people may have forgotten about them. You can follow him on Twitter here.   Bill Sherman is the Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winning Music Director of Sesame Street. Currently, he is producing the original Broadway cast recording for Hamilton as well as the upcoming album from the band McLovins. Check out his site: www.popmusicmisery.com.
