When Smokestack Joe of The Conductors exclaims, "ALL ABOARD," he means EVERYONE… Kids and parents alike can expect a train-load of fun and catchy melodies as The Conductors deliver some of the COOLEST original children’s songs we’ve heard in a LONG time. They’ve also put that all-important new spin on the classics each of us grew up on, playfully delivering unique twists at every turn of the tracks! Together with such cartoony names as Diesel Danny, Stefano The Steam Driver, and Rock Island Linus, Smokestack Joe and The Conductors are a Saturday-morning-cartoons style band come to life. Onstage, The Conductors aim to make personal connections with their diverse audiences, and do so partly by craftily incorporating the use of American Sign Language into their show. They also help to educate families about the topics of Autism, the Earth & Environment, and Railroad Safety. The Conductors are driven to simultaneously reach parents with something of musical substance while their kids are happily bouncing and singing along to a gondola of great songs that appeal to the very young and kids of every age. This is truly music the whole family can enjoy. Respected singer-songwriter Joe “HUTCH” Hutchinson, (aka Smokestack Joe), is a dedicated and proud parent of a child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (Autism). He started The Conductors as a way to celebrate the joys of parenthood and to deliver a fun, positive message to families worldwide while raising support and awareness for the Autism community. Believing in the magic of music to heal and bring people together for the greater good, Joe hopes The Conductors’ music will continue to inspire families for generations to come. EVERY child loves The Conductors, and yet their debut CD “Navigating The Spectrum” is especially appealing to kids on "The Spectrum" and to those with Attention Deficit Disorders. The simple arrangements and sparse musical instrumentation of each song are easy on the ears of the hyper-sensitive, and because of the subtle approach taken in recording, they actually draw the listener in. The shortness of each song and over-all brevity of the CD allows attention-challenged children to easily digest the whole CD in one listen, making for repeated plays and immediate sing-a-longs. The simple hooks in each song are a delight for the speech-delayed to latch onto, and you will delight in watching your verbally-challenged child actually attempt singing! We’ve seen it happen with our own children! And finally, PARENTS, we predict that this will be the one kids CD that you will actually listen to when the kids are NOT present!! After all, it was written and sung out of pure love by a real parent, just like you... THE CONDUCTORS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL EVENTS!
