Musical Merry-Go-Round welcomes Lloyd H. Miller Family Concert
Musical Merry-Go-Round welcomes Lloyd H. Miller performing in the intimate setting of The Tick Tock Tavern. Limited seating, advance tickets recommended. Children under 24 months are free, but must sit on ticketed adult's lap. Everyone else must have ticket.
Lloyd H. Miller is the founder and frontman of the Deedle Deedle Dees, a critically-acclaimed educational rock band based in New York City. He lives in Brooklyn, where he's known for his weekly sing-a-longs for families and his regular performances for adults and kids in care facilities and hospitals. He's also the co-writer, along with jazz legend Roy Nathanson, of the multi-media stage musical Trashed Out.
In April 2015, Lloyd released Sing-a-long History, Volume I: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! This is the first volume of his Sing-a-long History series, a collection of albums that use music to teach kids about history. The album is an introduction to the Civil War era with a special focus on the Underground Railroad and abolitionism. Lloyd has been exploring American history themes for long time. With his band, The Deedle Deedle Dees, he made the albums Freedom in a Box (2007), American History + Rock and Roll (2009), and Strange Dees, Indeed (2011), which all spotlighted some of the historical figures and stories that fascinate him. He also delved into a lot of the history of where he lives on his acoustic solo album, S.S. Brooklyn (2013). The Sing-a-long History series is part of a plan to organize his historical albums thematically in order to make it easier for teachers, parents, librarians, and other educators to put them to use in instructional settings.
Volume II of the Sing-a-long History series will be the first Deedle Deedle Dees album since 2011. The Deedle Deedle Dees are currently completing this record, which celebrates incredible feats and people from history and the present-day including Diana Nyad, Harry Houdini, and many others. Lloyd will start releasing singles and videos from this album in the fall of 2015 and the full record will come out in early 2016. The Deedle Deedle Dees' last release, Strange Dees, Indeed, was selected for the Top 10 Best CDs of 2011 by the "Fids and Kamily" critics poll and featured the Sirius XM hit "Ah Ahimsa," a song about Gandhi's theory of nonviolence. In 2013, Lloyd released his first solo album for families, S.S. Brooklyn, a stripped-down acoustic album including frequently-requested songs from his sing-a-longs like "Honk Honk (Major Deegan)," a ballad about New York's roadways, and "Henry (Hi Ya Ya)," a boisterous crowd favorite about Henry Hudson and his journey around what's now New York City.
Lloyd is known for his lively, highly interactive concerts as a solo performer and as a leader of the Deedle Deedle Dees. He's brought his "rock-n-roll classroom" to venues all over the country including Symphony Space, 92YTriBeCa, and BAM in NYC, Wolf Trap Performing Arts Center (DC area), the Clinton Presidential Library (Arkansas), Mass MoCA (Western MA), and many many schools, libraries, and parks.
