Music Managers Forum member, self managed artist Claudia Robin Gunn is thrilled to share the news that her 2020 album, supported by a Creative NZ Continuity Arts Grant, is on the ballot for consideration in the category of Best Children’s Music Album. Listeners are invited to step into Claudia’s musical world for a little dose of positivity and wonder in this Grammy® season.
Imagine a harmony filled grove under the grandfather trees that have stood for generations, or a street party in the pocket park on your block. Claudia Robin Gunn’s 3rd album for families is an adventure through the sights, sounds and senses of weather, seasons and the green spaces around us. It is a call for connection, protection and appreciation of our parks, gardens and wild places, a musical journey threaded through with themes of kindness and community. This album is an invitation to head outside and sing.
This project was made by as strong cast from the local music industry, sending a little piece of Aotearoa’s magic out to the world.
