DADDY DIALOGS

(music for an almost musical)

Introducing a unique look at common father / kid relations, featuring silly lyrics and catchy tunes, all rubbed with jazzrock sandpaper.

Thrust into sole childcare duties, a father seeking how to give his kid something meaningful, struggles with the very thing needed most . . . . . . his play time.

THOSE THAT MADE THIS STUFF UP

PAUL DENNY

Lyrics, Script, Dad

Born and raised a Husker, Paul moved to North Carolina to finish his degree at Chapel Hill. Fearing snow, he stayed in Charlotte.

Daydreaming during his varied business career, he paid close attention to the stories from those raising children around him, while he and his wife tried to raise their own. Common themes led to random thoughts which led to poems. Over beers, Paul showed these napkin scrawlings to childhood friend, Steve, who looked up with the exact expression he shows below, and said succintly, "Yah, I can hear music in this". Done.

STEVE DOYLE

Tunes, Musical Director, Vocals, Bass

Also a proud Nebraska native, Steve, a creative and kind soul, continues as a world class jazz bassist, pianist, vocalist, composer and educator. For the past two decades, he has been the house bassist at New York’s Birdland Jazz Club. He has also been playing and recording around the world with the likes of Tony Desare, Billy Stritch, Christine Ebersole, Natalie Cole, and Don Rickles, and has recorded extensively with the great Christine Lavin, including on her top shelf songs for kids. Steve has performed at many prestigious venues such as the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Blue Note (in both New York & Tokyo), and has played with many of the top pops orchestras across the US. He has released two of his own records, Presence, and Home to You.
