And they're so great! I've been trying to find how I can listen to them without purchasing, but he's not on Spotify. Boo. I may have to purchase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-acoustic-y-kids-music-that-adults-can-tolerate#post-2617231 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 12:46:52 +0000 ineebee 2617231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, everyone. These are such amazing suggestions!! I now have over two hours worth of music on my Spotify playlist, and they are all fun, beautiful songs that I don't mind listening to!

I like how he sings nursery rhymes and songs for really little kids and plays them simply with a guitar or banjo and minimal instruments. I also found Elizabeth Mitchell through Spotify and really like her rendition of "This Land is Your Land" and other songs like that.</p> <p>Can you recommend any other acoustic-y artists for kids music? </p>
