For some reason I was feeling a little down this morning. The I found a press release sharing information about Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could Keep Things ‘Sunny Side Up’ with their 13th Studio Album. I sat down to listen to the songs this morning.
As Sunny Side up began to play my mood changed. I felt myself smiling. The songs reminded me of Folk Lore songs from back in the day. If we had still been #Homeschooling Charlie we would have used this music in our Homeschool Music Class.
I hope you take the time to listen to these amazing songs and that you take the time to learn more about the Artists. I also wanted to let you know there is a New album and music videos coming this Spring!
Take a few minutes today to LISTEN HERE and leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the music and why,
Southold, NY — On April 25, 2025, three-time Grammy nominees Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could celebrate 25 years of making music for kids and families with Sunny Side Up, their most optimistic, bright-eyed album yet.
This new collection showcases the band’s exceptional pop-folk musicianship and tender-hearted lyrical magic. The “Sunny Side Up” single is available everywhere now, and the music video will be available on April 11.
“Working on this batch of tunes with the Little Band was loose, inspired, immediate, and fun,” says Brady. “The songs came together instinctively; I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been playing together for so many years.”
Family music superstar Laurie Berkner joins on the sweet duet “When You’re Kind,” which will have a music video available on May 9, and Matchbox Twenty guitarist Matt Beck adds tasty guitar licks throughout.
Written for ears of all ages, the songs find beauty and brilliance in the familiar: clean laundry on a line, Dandelions in the wind, and the comfort of a home-cooked breakfast. Inspired by Brady’s 92-year-old mother-in-law, who greets each new day with positivity, hope, and a smile, the title track sets the tone for an album that warmly reminds us to embrace—and savor—life’s everyday joys.
Upcoming Release Dates:
- April 11 – “Sunny Side Up” Music Video
- April 25 – Sunny Side Up Album
- May 9 – “When You’re Kind” Music Video
