What Are They Saying About Suzi?
NEW!! Suzi Shelton's Cure for the Winter Blues and a Cookie You Can't Miss Plus, the children's musician talks about having a career she never imagined, heartfelt advice for parenting with an ex, and why she can never leave Park Slope. - Park Slope Times (Jan 2024)
“I’ve been called “The Mr. Rogers of Kids Music,” and there couldn’t be a bigger compliment for me. Mr. Rogers is someone I used to watch as a young girl who never judged others but instead celebrated them. I am honored to be compared to Mr. Rogers.” Daily Inspiration: Meet Suzi Shelton — Voyage OHIO Magazine (Dec. 2022)
“Surely one of the albums highlights is the delightfully buoyant "The Grass Is Always Greener," sung as a duet with Grammy Award winning Children's Music vocalist Tim Kubart. Catchy melodies rein in "Raindrop" and "River Come Down" while the bluesy "Blue Fin" continues the aquatic theme to observe the innumerable colors of fish in the sea.” 2018 PARENTS’ CHOICE FOUNDATION RECOMMENDED AWARD
“SUZI SHELTON'S NO NEWCOMER TO THE KINDIE SCENE, BUT HER LATEST ALBUM SOUNDS 100% BRAND-NEW. IT COULD JUST AS EASILY BE PLAYING THROUGH A BROOKLYN HIPSTER'S IPHONE AS A FAMILY IPAD. AT ITS CORE "HAND IN HAND" IS STILL THE EMPOWERING, KID-FOCUSED FOLK-POP WE'VE COME TO EXPECT, BUT THERE'S A NEW BEAT HERE THAT'S INFECTIOUS AND EAR-GRABBING.” - Sirius XM Kids Place Live
“INSTEAD OF SIMPLE PARENTAL DECLARATIONS OF ADORATION, HAND IN HAND URGES KIDS TO LEARN, GROW, DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES, AND EMBRACE WHAT MAKES THEM TRULY SPECIAL. "Can You Feel the Power" is a preteen-Parkland motivational song.... A few of the songs, such as "The Grass Is Always Greener" (Tim's song) skew notably towards toddlers. But current Kids Place Live single "Raindrop" is a definite age-defying earwig. The power of positivity grows in every child and Suzi encourages you to embrace and meet that challenge, hand in hand.”
— Mr. Jeff 2000
“A JOY TO LISTEN TO FROM BEGINNING TO END... moderately paced allowing listeners to catch every word making each tune highly singable, while the arrangements are sophisticated yet simple enough to allow a variety of instruments..Hand in Hand is a true delight that should not be missed!”
— kids rhythm and rock
“Lively numbers that will engage kids and have them acting along with the songs....an appealing sophisticated vibe to this album.”
“CATCHY MUSIC ENGAGES KIDS JUST LIKE IT DOES ADULTS. This particular song is so catchy that we all found ourselves singing it throughout the day. My five year old could be heard singing 'Five little lady bugs...' in his bed last night before he fell asleep!”
— mamatomama
“Hand in Hand is the fourth solo album for children and families by independent musician Suzi Shelton. Playful, upbeat, and consisting of a mixture of Suzi's original compositions and her arrangements of beloved traditional songs, Hand in Hand is a jubilant delight. Highly recommended! ”
— Midwest Book Review
“SUZI SHELTON IS A BROOKLYN TREASURE, ENTERTAINING OUR KIDS ALL OVER THE BOROUGH. MUSICIANS LIKE HER ARE ONE OF THE REASONS TO LOVE BROOKLYN. HER NEW ALBUM, HAND-IN-HAND, IS AN UPBEAT TRIBUTE TO ENJOYING CHILDHOOD. ”
