With his soothing voice, an acoustic guitar, and a box full of instruments from all over the world, Jim Cosgrove has entertained kids of all ages throughout the United States and Europe. His songs are playful, poignant, and focus on the important things in childhood - laughing, singing, dancing, and playing.Cosgrove's performances are interactive with ample opportunities for kids to participate by playing along in one of several impromptu "jam" sessions. With a style steeped in a strong North American folk tradition, he has drawn inspiration from performers like Pete Seeger; Peter, Paul, & Mary; John McCutcheon; and Jimmy Buffett. His debut CD Bop, Bop Dinosaur, was released in July 1998, which was followed by Stinky Feet in 1999, and Ooey Gooey in 2001. His live concert video Stinky Feet Live also debuted in 2001. The grassroots success of these recordings has earned Cosgrove radio play and multiple television appearances in various markets.
