CARRABASSETT VALLEY — Children of all ages can jump on the song toboggan and sing along when Matt Loosigian of Earth Jams visits the Carrabassett Valley Library Jan. 20.
A Brunswick-based folk singer, guitarist and songwriter, Loosigian specializes in playful, funny songs about ecology and being green. His musical
and interactive show will be at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20 at the library, 3209 Carrabassett Drive.
Loosigian has the unique ability to capture and keep the attention of children from babies through elementary ages, according to a news release from the library.
Inspired by his dynamic voice and charismatic performance style, participants will sing, play and dance along as this musical wizard pulls giggles out of his guitar. As he performs it’s clear, Loosigian has a great love of music, fun and children and wants to transmit that love to the families, the news release said.
“I believe every child has a seed of music inside,” he said. “If we nurture those seeds by teaching them to exercise their musical muscles from a young age, they will blossom into enthusiastic musical beings. I demonstrate how easy and fun it is to make your own music.”
Loosigian has been spreading musical joy around Maine and New England for 12 years. With a deep background in choral, solo and a cappella singing, today he performs at school assemblies, family concerts and workshops for teachers. In 2009, he released a solo album, “Hungry for the Sun,” that received a Kids Music Award, with songs about ecology and being green. He is also the music teacher at Cricket Hunt School in Freeport and teaches Music Together classes in Brunswick.
