About Me

..

“For the toddler set, she’s a star.” The Kansas City Star

Meet Funky Mama!

Tell me how many electric-guitar-playing, soulful soccer moms you know. Now, let me introduce you to Funky Mama. Krista “Funky Mama” Eyler left her hectic life as an on-air television reporter to embrace motherhood and a life as a singer/songwriter for children and their families. She created her own Kansas City-based company-- Funky Mama Music--to write and perform original, interactive rock n’ roll for kids. Funky Mama blends blues, rock n’roll, bluegrass, gospel, funk and fun on her popular CDs ~ Funky Mama Sings: Giggle Jiggle! (2005,) Grandma's House (2006 ) and Moo Juice (2008). Funky Mama’s voice is unlike any heard in children’s music today. Her versatile, power-packed voice has wow-ed thousands of kids from Kansas City to the White House Easter Egg Roll. Full of richness and rock, Funky Mama’s music packs a punch and kids love it.

“Singing of Funky Mama enchants tots and parents alike.” The Kansas City Star

"Kansas City’s favorite singing mama!" KC Parent Magazine

“Funky Mama’s throaty vocals aren’t the type that can be sung by just anyone. Her rich voice has a rock ‘n blues strength to it that recalls the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow…(She is) armed with a fire-engine red electric guitar and one extraordinary pair of vocal cords.” 435 South Magazine

“Funky Mama rocks the toddler set with an original groove.” Shawnee Magazine
