About Me

Madeline's Toybox: Dedicated to making great music for kids, ages 0 to 8. For several years the members of Madeline's Toybox were part of a successfull nightclub act playing club and concert venues all over the midwest. In 2004 they decided to let the kids in on the action. Take a healthly dose of 80's alternative pop and some good old fashioned rock & roll and there you have it. A jumpin' up and down good time for the little rockers in your family.

Sounds Like: Not really like the Wiggles and not really like Dan Zanes, but all of your favorite pop/ rock bands from the 80's & 90's like the Cure, Ocean Blue, Bare Naked Ladies, and a little bit of the Beatles thrown in for good measure. Think sunshine, summer breezes, popsicles, and hangin' out with your best friend and there you have it. Madeline's Toybox: for the kid in all of us!
