CD recording Featuring: Jessica Vigars (vocals), Kevin Cooke (bass), David Monis (drums), Alan Gasser (vocals), Chris Coole (banjo), Hameed Shaq (steel pan), Richard "Isax" House (alto sax), James Spragg (trumpet), Stuart Elliott (baritone sax), and Gabrielle Roddy (vocals).

What the critics are saying:
"Early Morning Knee-Slappin' Tunes is a collection of traditional (and a few new) North American songs arranged with originality and performed with passion. Some tracks - like Woodie Guthrie's "Baby Washing Song", with its banjos and harmonized vocals -- sound like they belong on the "Oh Brother Where Are Thou" soundtrack... ...There is certainly some sweetness to the album; a few lullabies and guitar instrumentals to calm things down, a very funky version of the "Hokey Pokey" and lots of sing-alongs with actions. But what really makes Early Morning Knee-Slappin' Tunes stand out is its authenticity. This is a CD made by musicians who really want kids to enjoy this music as much as they do."
Deanne Fisher - Toronto City Parent
Magazine

"Fantastic songs for getting the little ones moving their bodies!"
Tina Smith - Fresno Family


"Whether channeling Woody Gutherie, Bob Marley, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," Whitla's arrangements are sharp, decisive and ready to rock. His musical history is sound and voice is fresh."
