lullatone ♡


A few weeks ago, I received an email from Shawn of Lullatone introducing me to his music and I'm ashamed to say, I've only gotten around to reading it now. I have skiddles occupying the spaces of my brain. I clicked on Lullatone's videos and fell head over heels in love with their music, their concept and the video itself! After everything happening, it completely made my heart sing and smile.

Lullatone is for sharing! And I wanted to share with all of you all that is wonderful that is Lullatone. After checking out their sweet blog, I realized that Shawn, his wife Yoshimi and their sweet, adorable son Niko are living in Nagoya, Japan. I hope that they, their family and friends are all okay.

Shawn can also be seen on japanese tv every Saturday morning teaching kids how to make instruments from materials around the house! How cool is that? I am going to watch this video with Keira tonight as she's already made 2 'maracas' from empty plastic bottles filled with my beloved chocolate covered peanuts (!) and rice.




Lullatone is selling their music to help raise funds for Japan! All proceeds from the sale of their album will go to the Japanese Red Cross. You can download their music here: www.lullatone.com/category/shop/. It is a 'pay what you want' download.

I think the "We Will Rock You to Sleep" cd is perfect for this cool lil' dude here:

and the Hello Kitty Black Wonder single? Hm, I wonder who..

Please go and check out their wonderful and sweet blog: lullatone.tumblr.com & www.lullatone.com where we get to peek into and read about Shawn and his family and of course, all things Lulla.

Well, I guess I don't need to tell you how much I love all of this now do I?! This is such a cool find- & perfect for lifting spirits. I showed the S -dude and he really loved it too (sweet of you to post his pictures). You're right the "We Will Rock You to Sleep" would be right up his alley. Great post Chantale!
