2024 Wrap Up!

Looking back with love and gratitude on an adventurous and collaborative year. Loved making fun, spirited things with the mighty Lil' Band, and friends old and new, and feel blessed and buoyant to be working with such wildly talented souls in my neighborhood, across the country and around the world.

Incredibly, I am heading into my 25th year making music for families – lucky me! Your support and friendship is a gift that’s kept me chuggin’ along. I’m endlessly thankful for that.

Wishing you peace and love, health and happiness, and a big ol’ full heart of JOY in ’25. Go get it! 🩵

Grownup Show at Greenport Harbor Brewery!

Loved playing one for the grownups and kicking off Memorial Day Weekend at Greenport Harbor Brewing co.! I played songs from my days with From Good Homes, tunes inspired by 20+ years here on the North Fork, some favorite covers, and a few surprises. Thanks to Ann, Rich, John, Betsy & Shannon at the brewery for the warm welcome. Colorful, cool pics by Glen Hoffman - NOFOk'n Way.

Light of Love

April is Neurodiversity Awareness Month!

Here’s "Love Me For Who I Am," the title track from an album I released 13 years ago. It was inspired by the AMAZING students and staff at Celebrate The Children School in Denville, NJ. Hope you take this month to shine a little extra light and love!

look at my belly turns 20! 🎉

As I've been putting the finishing touches on our 12th studio album (more on that soon!) I was reminded that 20 years ago this month our 2nd record, Look At My Belly was released.

2002 was a sweet and magical time. Our two kids were growing, exploring, and every day was filled with discovery and adventure. I plopped down in the middle of it all with my guitar and captured it as it came.

Listening back, I hear Dan Myers (producer) and myself discovering our own sound as we explored the new world of making children's music.

Dan and I played most of the parts and instruments ourselves, my friend and future Lil' Band member Claudia Mussen and I sang together for the first time, Lou Gallo added some harmony and my talented buddy Jim Mussen came in, sat down at the drums and tracked the entire record in one night!

I hope you'll have a listen to these evergreen tunes. If you like, introduce the music to friends with little ones learning first words, lacing up their walking shoes and discovering their world. It's a soundtrack to a precious, magical and fleeting time.

Our first press clippings...😂

“Rymer captures the exuberance of little kids with these 13 original songs that celebrate a toddler’s world. You’ll find the perfect tune to accompany any activity, from cleaning up, getting ready for bed, or just hanging out.” - Parenting Magazine

"Rymer allows his listeners to see the world anew, as if through a child's eyes, never underestimating the grandeur of small things." - Lisa Crowley, The Riverhead Independent

"We were easily won over by songs such as "Words That I Know", "Here Come My Teeth" (even though most of us here are at an age when we're losing them) and "Off To Bed". Need to satisfy the kids but are Disneyfied to death? Try this disc." - TriCity News, Bradley Beach, NJ

Enjoy!
Love, Brady
