Leslie Bixler: News

I'm starting to get into serious production on a new CD with a focus on RHYTHM and the help of DRUMMER CHAD SMITH, who contributes not only his amazing drumming talents but also writes and performs a train song of his own! And, our favorite DICK VAN DYKE will be returning as the conductor of this train! Stay tuned for more details!!

Thanks for all of you Malibu families that came out for my McCabes concert. It's a great room, great sound, lots of carpetted space in the middle for dancing, and chairs all around. The store in front is loaded with fun educational music products. It's nice to play for kids and parents who come to listen and enjoy..and even climb up on stage and sing with me!

Check out the Press section of my website to see the LA times article about my upcoming gig at McCabes this Sunday, Nov. 4th at 11 am..

Leslie is offering her unique blend of fun, fantasy and educational learning in a movement class called "FANTASY FUN YOGA". She plays her album hits as well and its every Friday 2:15 at the Malibu Library for a limited time. Just show up to register!

Shana Meyerson,
founder of mini yogis yoga for kids says:

Leslie Bixler's CD, Moon Food, is infectiously fun and I love to incorporate
it into my kids' yoga classes. I love the songs, but much more importantly,
so do all my students. The music lends itself so well to creative play and
movement. I highly recommend it to anyone who works closely with kids!

Leslie will be offering a class that combines her music and a wonderful fantasy type movement class for children that introduces them to principles of yoga in a story setting.

Starts mid-December. Call Bluffs Park to sign up!

Ralph. Bill and Leslie played at the wonderful kid's hangout "Storyopolis" in Studio City and had a great time.
Look for more gigs at this great place.

Don't forget that we'll be performing at the zoo on Sunday October 8th at 1:00 for the "Fall Fox Festival" hosted by Jane Goodall's "Roots and Shoots". There will be little channel island foxes to see as well as music, crafts and other fun!

To read the review of "Moon Food" go to Press/Reviews.

Or you can check it out on the Parents' Choice Website!

Keep an eye out for a holiday music show by the fountain at "Toy Crazy"
in late November or early December!!

We really enjoyed opening for Charity and the JAMBand last Saturday in SF. The weather was cccold but the setting was lovely, trees and grass and a restaurant right by the beach!

Robben and I are working out a dance routine for the live performance of "I Love My Shadow"
He's awfully cute, if I do say so myself..

Come to the Malibu Library for a day of crafts, magic and Moon Food!
If you like, dress up and we'll let you show your costume on stage!

Lots of ideas are flying around for making videos or films of some of the Moon Food songs.

We'll keep ya posted as the plans unfold!

We had to cancel our gig at Storyopolis coming up this week
but will be sure to reschedule.

We opened for another show with a couple of songs at the library. It was great to see about half the room were kids I already knew!

We're planning with the manager to do a Halloween Party in October there. Get ready to dress up and have fun!

And by the way, the CD is now available on iTUNES and AMAZON!!
