 “Red’s
energy and enthusiasm are contagious”
Family Fun
Magazine
Critically acclaimed and Grammy nominated recording
artist Red Grammer has set the gold standard for writing and performing
contemporary children’s music. Consistently winning awards for music with
uplifting themes, innovative lyrics, and irresistible melodies Red and his wife
(co-lyricist Kathy Grammer) have created a treasure trove of music for families
and classrooms. “Picking the best of Red Grammer is like choosing the best
chocolate in a box of Godiva… you can’t go wrong!”- Parent’s Choice Awards.
His music has a universal appeal that cuts across generations, backgrounds,
ethnicity and religions.
The ideas and themes that
permeate the Grammer’s music arise from their belief that children are
intelligent, inquisitive and come into this world “pre-wired” to learn how to
work together and understand each other. Children are supported to be
problem-solvers, embrace diversity, and live up to they’re highest reality…
laughing and singing as they go.
Red can be heard nourishing the hearts and souls of
both young and old via his multiple award-winning recordings, his
numerous appearances on television (The Today Show, CBS This Morning,
Nickelodeon, Showtime, PBS, and The Disney Channel), and his new video/DVD.
Beloved by children and parents around the world, his recordings are also widely
used in schools to enrich conflict resolution and character education programs.
One of them, Teaching Peace, was named by The
All Music Guide “one of the top five children’s recordings of all
time” and was given a rare Parent’s Choice Classic Children’s Audio
Award. Red has recorded six albums for kids and families, two for adults and
tours extensively around the world.

Red
Grammer has a magical way of inspiring children and the adults that work with
them with his infectious and meaningful songs. “Teaching Peace,” “Shake Your
Brains,” “Use A Word,” “The ABC’s of You,” “I Think You’re Wonderful,” “Diggin’
for Diamonds,” and many more…..speak to children about tolerance, caring,
character and community in a language they instantly understand and eagerly
embrace.
The
“Red Day” residency gives students and teachers a chance to hear Red Grammer in
a school-wide concert, get to know him up close and in person with a series of
engaging and inspiring “Informances,” and bring their families back to an
evening family performance with this nationally acclaimed performer. The spirit
of connectedness and community celebrated in Red’s music reverberates in the
hallways and resides in the hearts long after Red is gone.
“Red Grammer is a treasure and a gift! His visit to my school set a positive
and unified tone for the whole year. My entire school, parents included, cannot
give Red enough accolades and eagerly anticipate his return!”
-- Music Teacher, Kamuela, Hawaii
“His beautiful voice, his thoughtful lyrics, his enthusiastic smile, his
interaction with the students and his genuine love for the children of the world
warmed our hearts.”
-- Principal, San Leandro, California
“Red’s music is a perfect way to integrate the arts with the peace building
messages we use in our schools.”

Red Grammer’s work
has always been about building “community” in our schools, our cities and

Teacher Workshop, Red shows teachers of all persuasions and abilities how music
can playfully engage the best part of children, and help build and support the
kind of positive social classroom culture that every teacher strives for.
His years of experience working with children and learning from the
creativity and resourcefulness of teachers have resulted in an extensive “bag
of tricks,” incorporating the disciplines of movement, art, writing, and music
to take the lessons in Red’s songs to new levels of integration in the school
community.
