The ASCAP Foundation Awards

Last week, we attended the ASCAP Foundation Awards and received the 2012 Joe Raposo Children's Music Award for our song, "When You're a Dog."  We even had the honor of performing our song for the guests - we felt so fancy!  It was a real treat to perform in the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

It was really wonderful to meet members of the Raposo Family, who sponsor the award in honor of Joe Raposo.

We couldn't go in without backup - so we assembled a dog choir!  Friends of ours graciously volunteered their time (from left to right) - Alexis Weiss, Pedro Soto, Mara Levi & Chad Mills.

And we got some good press, too!  Check it out!

Malu in Long Island City

While we were in New York, we played a really wonderful show at an ice cream shop in Long Island City named Malu. Big thanks to Jennifer from Malu for hosting us, and for our friend Lauren Cregor for coordinating the show! We had a great turnout and met some new friends - and the home-made ice cream was SUPER DELICIOUS.  Can't wait to go back for seconds.

The Joe Raposo Children's Music Award


We are very honored to receive the 2012 Joe Raposo Children's Music Award from the ASCAP Foundation.  You can read about it here!

In December, we will travel to New York to accept the award - and perform our song, "When You're a Dog."  We are even assembling a dog choir!

Joe Raposo's music has very much shaped both of our lives - songs like "Sing," "C is For Cookie" and "One of These Things" are probably some of the first songs we learned.  We couldn't be more excited.
