“Delta-Silly” is roots music for children. With charm and irreverent humor, Jeremy Lyons entertains the whole family, introducing a new generation to the national treasure we call American folk music.

“His CD, Delta-Silly Music for Kids, is a real gem… He has a very down-to-earth folk sound that everyone loves and his acoustic guitar is just amazing.”

Years ago Jeremy Lyons quit his day job as a French Quarter street musician to become a favorite in New Orleans nightclubs. But after a few years he began to miss the families and kids that enjoyed the impromptu open-air concerts.

So Jeremy started singing for his daughter and her friends on the front porch, and made appearances in classrooms in New Orleans. Now living in Massachusetts, Jeremy packs the house at sing-alongs in toy stores and libraries. At the Children’s Museums of Boston and Louisiana Lyons has performed and led workshops. Jeremy also plays preschools, grade schools, libraries, farmers markets, festivals and birthday parties. At a summer day camp, he led an 80-piece kazoo band.

“Jeremy visited our library to present and play New Orleans jazz for our students. He told stories and played several tunes on banjo and National. It was very well received with enthusiastic audience participation. By popular demand, we were fortunate to have Jeremy return in May to perform at our annual school wide Arts Council dinner.”
— Diane Norris, Chair Haggerty School Arts Council, Cambridge, MA

Jeremy plays a variety of instrument: banjo, guitar, harmonica, ukulele, piano, kazoo and jaw harp. He sings songs that have been around a long time. Folk tunes, railroad songs, campfire songs, food songs… And now with the release of his second CD for children, entitled “Silly Goose Music,” we can appreciate even more “Delta-Silly” music.

“It’s a real privilege,” says Lyons “to introduce young folks to songs America’s been singing for generations.”

Jeremy appears weekly at two Stellabella Toys locations in Cambridge, MA:
Saturdays 11:00am – noon
1360 Cambridge Street (Inman Square)
