(KidzBop)
They've been called, "Barney meets the Black Eyed Peas" by the Washington Post and "the most famous musicians in Nashville...if you are under five" by the Tennessean. The Zinghoppers are unquestionably the hottest children's act in Nashville, and certainly the most popular preschool band in Tennessee. They have been named "Best Kids Entertainers" by Parent Magazine for the past three years (voted on by parents and caregivers) and are the only children's act to ever play the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. They are also the only preschool band to tour internationally for the United States government - appearing in 17 countries on a world tour presented by the Pentagon and Armed Forces Entertainment. The Zinghoppers are breaking ground by blending traditional media (television) with new media (internet/social) in a manner unprecedented for a kids act. A strategic broadcast relationship with their PBS presenting station (Nashville Public Television), gives the band the advantage of twice daily broadcast during the PBS Kids programming block, while reaching a global audience using the band's fresh, young "new-media" savvy. This is done by building their Youtube channel (which has 25 times more views than any other area children's entertainers) and Facebook fanbase (again with more than any other area family act). Trendsetting online broadcasts have found the Zinghoppers filming backstage at Justin Bieber's "My World Tour" (at Bridgestone Arena) and hosting a first-ever web concert for families at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington DC. The band has appeared on the GRAMMY nomination ballot two years in a row for "Best Children's Album". In 2011 the Zinghoppers team was nominated for three EMMY Awards: twice for their work in the "Children's Program" category, and in the highly-competitive "Music Composer/Arranger" category - unprecedented for a kids song to be up against all other genres. Just another testament to the band's all-ages appeal and high-quality songwriting. They continue to grow their popularity through live events which have seen a host of celebrity fans in the audience including Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman, Brad Paisley, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and members of Kings of Leon. The Zinghoppers goal is simple: to rock the whole globe. And, since moving to Nashville to pursue their dreams just over two years ago, the band is clearly well on their way.
