Jeff Parsnips Unleashes New Kids Album 'Silly Songs For Silly Sausages'

It's a fab day for music lovers of all ages in Aotearoa, as we can shelter from the Friday weather bomb while singing along loudly to Silly Songs for Silly Sausages, the fun and catchy new kids album from Jeff Parsnips. An alter-ego of beloved Ōtautahi tunesmith (and sometimes musical comedian) Jed Parsons, Jeff Parsnips serves up eight entertaining and thought-provoking guitar-pop-bops on his debut offering, bundled on compact disc with a beaut illustrated lyrics booklet.

He puts listeners big and small on the spot with such pertinent questions as 'Who's That Person In The Mirror' (no spoilers) and 'Why Does Grandma Want To Eat Me', serves up spine-tingling thrills with 'I'm A Scary Monster', ponders the alphabet from a revolutionary perspective on 'The New ABC (The Alphabetriachy)', and helps us drift away to dreamland with the refreshingly reassuring 'Everything's Alright'. Silly parents and kids alike can even join Jeff Parsnips in-person on his release tour, starting this Saturday at Loons — Jed Parsons also has a tour kicking off on Saturday evening...
