Razzmatazz for Kids will get you hugging someone you love, clucking like a chicken, riding a bumpy bus, singing, hopping, dancing, clapping your hands, or performing on stage with them in their concerts of fun, original and traditional children’s songs. Sesame Street produced and broadcast a music video of their song, “Going to my Grandma’s”, and they were invited to perform at the National Archives in Ottawa for Aline Chrétien and Laura Bush, the wives of the Canadian Prime Minister and the President of the United States. Razzmatazz for Kids has been a featured performer with Symphony Nova Scotia, and has won “Children’s Recording of the Year” from the East Coast Music Awards, “Children’s Group of the Year” from Music Nova Scotia, and a “Recommended” Award from Parents’ Choice in the United States.
This husband and wife duo of Thomas Cormier and Sandy Greenberg has been delighting young audiences for over 20 years at folk and children’s festivals, special events, and schools. Razzmatazz for Kids performs three types of shows: their fun, interactive, English show for festivals and special events; their educational elementary school show, which emphasizes inclusion, diversity, heritage and perseverance and includes songs in English, French and Hebrew; and their all-French show for francophone and French Immersion audiences.
Thomas Cormier (T.C.) is the front man of the group–a singer, songwriter, and comedian. “Flinging his spidery legs in all directions, Razzmatazz’s Thomas Cormier looks like a dangerously out-of-control jumping jack. The kids . . . loved him.” (Stephen Pedersen, The Halifax Herald). Sandy Greenberg sings, plays guitar, and writes songs for Razzmatazz. “.. her sense of genuineness . . . really connects with the listener. Her Joan Baez-like alto has an impressive, expressive range; her acoustic guitar style is clear and consistent.” (Ron Foley Macdonald, The Daily News).
In addition to being chosen for the Sesame Street video, Razzmatazz`s “Going to my Grandma’s” was chosen by the Canadian Independent Record Production Association for inclusion in its Smile Songs compilation. The Razzmatazz song, “If I Had a Rainbow”, was included in the Dancing Kites compilation produced by Grammas to Ambuyas as a fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The Razzmatazz song, “Bump”, was synchronized for the television show Prairie Berry Pie. The Razzmatazz songs, “The Crazy Shakedown”, “Chugga Choo Choo”, and “Sleeping Over”, were chosen by Casablanca Records for inclusion in three of their compilations of children’s songs.
