Children’s Group of the Year Splash'N Boots
Want Fans' Help Writing New Album
New
stars of Treehouse TV taking Facebook suggestions for sixth album
TORONTO, February 3rd, 2012 – Hot
off the heels of a cross-Canada theatre tour with Treehouse LIVE, Children’s
Music Group of the Year Splash'N Boots want
their Facebook following to help them write their sixth album! With their
breakthrough music video For the Love of Dance airing nationally on Treehouse TV, the cutting-edge duo's new 10-track
compilation will be based solely on fan suggestions.
Everyday for approximately one month, Splash'N Boots will update their
Facebook status seeking new recommendations for song titles, lyrics, and even
the album's name, allowing everyone to provide input on what they'd like to
hear on the twosome's upcoming CD. Fans will even be able to submit artwork
which will make up the CD's booklet. Fans can 'like' Splash'N Boots on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/splashnboots.com.
Once they've received enough fan feedback, Splash'N Boots will write and
professionally record all 10 tracks live from their kitchen – where they have
been filming their ever-popular “Kitchen Jam” webcasts for the past two years.
In addition, the entire process will be filmed and edited into a documentary,
making this highly anticipated album the ultimate band/fan collaboration. With
a portion of all proceeds going to Sick Kids Hospital, the album is expected to
be released this spring.
“We truly have the best fans anyone could hope for, so we're thrilled to
invite them in the song-writing process,” says Taes (pronounced 'Tess')
Leavitt, the group's 'Boots'. "Because of the fan involvement, this is
going to be our best album to-date!”
“We've always been so well connected with our fans through social media,”
says Nick, the group's 'Splash'. “Having our fans help out with the new album
seems like the natural progression for us!”
With five CDs and two full-length DVDs under their belts, as well as over
1,000 international festival and theatre performances, there is no sign of
slowing down for this young husband and wife team. In addition to their music
video currently on heavy rotation on Treehouse TV, the duo performed in 11
cities this fall with Treehouse LIVE for the Roll Play Live Animal Party tour –
based on Treehouse TV's award-winning show Roll Play. Subsequently, the breakout pair landed an additional four music videos as
well as four half hour episodes of Roll Play that will air on the popular children’s network in 2012 for the next six
years.
Stemming from a 2004 Queen's University class project, Splash'N Boots are
constantly connected to their fans via social media channels. With a growing
following on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the two have a lot in store for
2012, including several more Kitchen Jam appearances at Sick Kids Hospital; an
organization they continually support, recently donating $1000 after selling
their first thousand copies of their “Back in Yellow” CD.
