Singer-songwriter Liz Buchanan [on Singing All the Way Home] knows rhythm, and with a voice notable for its expansive warmth, she performs lively, tuneful songs that invite hand-clapping and sing-along participation. More...

Liz’s new CD [Singing All the Way Home] is simply a sweet collection of kids’ songs with a very folksy and traditional feel. These songs are great for little kids and toddlers. Liz has a rich singing voice that’s both beautiful and friendly that really attracts kids, especially shy ones. Her shows are very interactive and kids just seem to feel free to dance and be themselves with her.
I love the song “Hey, Dr. Knickerbocker” for its perfect guitar arrangement and sing-along-to lyrics and Ivan just adores “The Hand-Clapping Rap” where you clap the syllables of food words. Such a simple idea gets him so excited!

The music programs that Liz Buchanan runs balance innovation, joy and structure beautifully … and they always have a healthy dose of patience and flexibility. Young Audiences is lucky to have her as a teaching artist.

Liz's teacher workshop was interesting and resourceful. I loved all the songs she taught. Way to go!

I just wanted to let Liz Buchanan know that she and her band put on an absolutely wonderful concert yesterday ... My son enjoyed every minute of the show and if anyone ever has the chance to see Liz at the libraries for her sing alongs, make every effort to go because the kids just love it and Liz is wonderful with the kids. Thanks, Liz, for a great Family Concert!

Thanks so much for a wonderful afternoon. It was so festive and fun...it made me proud to live in Arlington! We got a copy of your CD [Make it a Song, Song, Song] and my 4-year old listened to it over and over tonight, pretending to be one of the backup girls. Thank you!!

Your CD [Make it a Song, Song, Song] is WONDERFUL! My five-year-old and I put it on the other day and we both loved it. Liz, you have a great voice! What a gifted woman. I am truly impressed.

Thanks for the URL, Liz! I enjoyed your train harmonies on "Chugga Chugga Ding Ding" and I especially enjoyed "Boom De Ah Dah." Please tell the children their voices were wonderful!
