Go Go Stop -
Music & Movement For Kids

Best Children's Album

"The lively songs encourage young children to get up and move their bodies, the better to develop coordination and a love for healthy exercise. Go Go Stop: Music & Movement for Kids is filled with charming, funny, and upbeat tunes that appeal to children without talking down to them, and is sure to become a favorite family pick. Highly recommended!"

It features 12 songs, which offer kids and families messages of inclusivity and empathy while encouraging them to have fun, use their imaginations, and move to the music.

About Shawny

A former elementary school music teacher who is now a full-time children’s musician, Shawny brings more than 20 years’ experience with kids to the table. He is so in touch with his inner child that children instantly recognize him as a big, goofy friend! Shawny strives to create a safe space where kids can be as silly, imaginative, and energetic as they wish.

 

He also has a deep respect for children; his warm-hearted pop-rock music is catchy but never condescending. Shawny cites influences as diverse as Ray Davies of The Kinks, Dolly Parton, Pete Seeger, Robin Williams, Funkadelic, Talking Heads, The B-52s, Raffi, and Kermit the Frog!

Singles & Music Videos

I wanted to record the most playful, engaging album I could possibly make. Every song is a ‘go-to’ from my live performances, the kind of song that’s guaranteed to get children participating and moving a lot. When I play these songs in person, children light up and move so happily and freely! I wanted to capture that exuberance so listeners will feel the same joy that kids and I share at my shows.​

 

SHAWNY

Tracklist

1. Hi Hello
 

This 'hello' song welcomes listeners and signals that we are ready to start the day/class/event.

4. So Different
(feat. Buddy)

Shawny's puppet friend Buddy is sad because he is getting made fun of for being small. Shawny leads us in a song about how differences make us special.

7. The Snoring Song
 

After all the excitement of the previous six tracks, this calm and slow song is a much-needed pause. 

10. In My Airplane
 

A tribute to the fascination many children have with airplanes, whether it’s pointing them out in the sky or eagerly sharing their flying experience.

2. Go Go Stop
 

The titular song started as a movement game and turned into one of Shawny's biggest hits! It's fast-paced, energetic, and a perfect way to get folks moving. 

5. Winter Clothes
 

Playing in the snow is a blast — getting a child dressed to go outside? Not so much. This song helps kids learn what they need to wear, and in what order.

8. Pirate Life
 

The media portrays pirates as ‘bad guys’. This song challenges that stereotype by highlighting all the advantages and fun parts of living the pirate life.

11. Rainbow Parade
(feat. Strawbitty Yops)

Everyone is welcome to join the Rainbow Parade! Every person is represented and every point of view is heard in this catchy folk sing-along.

3. Little Bubbles

Bubbles are universally adored by people of all ages. This song celebrates the simple joy of being surrounded by bubbles to chase, catch, and pop.

6. Happy Happy Holidays!
 

Written from the perspective of a child excited for the winter holidays, this song celebrates all the magic surrounding that special time of year. 

9. Here Comes The Sharks!
 

OH NO there are some sneaky sharks coming to put Shawny and the listener in a soup. This funky song/game is sure to get the adrenaline pumping!

12. Goodbye Goodbye
 

Every fun experience must eventually come to an end! This song helps listeners say 'goodbye' and puts a cap on the day/class/event.
