Timeline

1961

Daniel Edgerly Zanes (born November 8, 1961) is an American former member of the 1980s band the Del Fuegos and is now the frontman of the group Dan Zanes and Friends.

Zanes's father was a teacher, as well as a poet and writer.

Zanes attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts for two years.

Zanes ended up living on the outskirts of Concord, New Hampshire.

The Del Fuegos played in lofts, bars, warehouses, small art galleries, clubs, barns, college dining halls, fraternity houses, gymnasiums, auditoriums, and, finally, big theaters.

1984

Rolling Stone named the Del Fuegos "Best New Band" in 1984.

With the Del Fuegos, Zanes made several records – The Longest Day (1984), Boston, Mass (1985), Stand Up (1987), Smoking in the Fields (1989) – and had a hit single, Don't Run Wild.

1987

In 1987, Zanes married Paula Greif, the director of the video for the Del Fuegos song, I Still Want You.

After Zanes and his wife at the time, Paula Greif, had a baby girl, they moved to New York City.

Zanes subsequently began playing music with a group of other fathers that he had met in West Village playgrounds who were also there with their kids.

These fathers playing music together eventually became the Wonderland String Band, which played at parks and parties and on a tape of songs that Zanes recorded at his home.

The tape was a hit locally – i.e. on the playgrounds where he and his daughter played – and Zanes realized that he liked making music that families could enjoy together, as opposed to music that is just for children or just for adults.

So, he added a small number of women to his band, renamed it the Rocket Ship Revue, and began making a full-length homemade album, enlisting the help of some people he had met when he was a Del Fuego – Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, and Simon Kirke, the drummer for Bad Company.

2000

The album, Rocket Ship Beach (2000), was also a hit.

The New York Times Magazine called it "cool", and added, "Mostly, though, Zanes' kids music works because it is not kids music; it's just music – music that's unsanitized, unpasteurized, that's organic even."

Sheryl Crow and Suzanne Vega made guest appearances on the album.

2001

The second album, Family Dance (2001) is composed of dance songs from a wide variety of musical traditions and features Loudon Wainwright III and Rosanne Cash.

2002

The third recording, the more mellow Night Time! (2002), features collaborations with Aimee Mann, Lou Reed, John Doe, Dar Williams, and other established musicians.

2003

In 2003, he played himself on Dragon Tales Let's Start a Band on TV film.

The fourth album in the family series is House Party (2003), a rambunctious 20-song collection with a diverse instrumentation that, in addition to the usual guitars, banjos, upright bass and drums, includes such instruments as violin, tuba, accordion, trombone, pump organ, djembe and saw.

House Party was nominated for a Grammy in the Musical Album for Children category.

2005

Music video selections from the House Party album played during the Disney Channel's morning program suite known as Playhouse Disney from 2005 to 2007.

New music video selections occasionally play on Nickelodeon's Noggin.

2007

In 2007, Zanes received the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album for Children for Catch That Train! (2006) and produced a children's reggae CD with Father Goose called "Its a Bam Bam Diddly", which also features songs performed by Sister Carol and Sheryl Crow.

2009

In early 2009, Zanes' ¡Nueva York! (2008) won in The 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Children's Music Album.

His seventh album 76 Trombones (2009) was a Broadway/Showtune themed album, featuring guest vocalists Matthew Broderick, Carol Channing, and Brian Stokes Mitchell.
