Welcome To The Garden Groove Project!The Garden Groove Project is a kids-helping-kids educational and fundraising initiative organized by singer/songwriter/educator, Dana LaCroix, to help support the creation and maintenance of school gardens and encourage healthy lifestyles for children. The song was written by Dana and a group of 5-7 year olds and recorded by the kids themselves!
We are currently raising funds for The Roosevelt Elementary School Garden on the North side of Binghamton, NY. Established with funding from the United Way and run by Eat Well, Play Hard, Binghamton!, this garden project helps kids learn about planting, tending, harvesting and preparing their own fruits and vegetables. What it costs: $10 What you get: An email with an mp3 of the song, an mp3 of the karaoke track, and a lyric sheet so you can sing along! You also get the satisfaction of helping kids help each other.

Rehearsing and Recording the Garden Groove!After jamming ideas for the groove, lyrics, and the title, of course, Dana and the kids finished writing "The Garden Groove" on October 3rd, 2015!
A few rehearsals later, the kids went into the studio to lay down the tracks. Seth did a great job singing lead! |
