In 2003 Bill Harley took us on a story and song-filled tour of a town filled with colorful and oddly named characters who did some very unusual things. Since that recording’s release, thousands of children (and their parents) have visited and loved the Town Around the Bend, and so we’re happy to announce release of Further Around the Bend: More News from the Town Around the Bend. With stories and songs brimming with charm, humor and wisdom, this recording celebrates the best of who we are and can be and reminds young and old about the power of community.

On this album: Nighty Noodles, Further and Farther Around the Bend, Skeezy Boofer’s Wonderful Ears, Why Slippery Stream Sings, How Is That Scrape on Your Knee?, Swing the Gate and the Worm Brigade, Melody Rimshot and the Tub of Pickles Band, Pages of a Book Are Like Leaves on a Tree, Carmela Cellar Door and Her Bedtime Song, Carmela’s Song, and Nighty Noodles (Reprise)
