We’ll be putting on a super fun free show this Saturday at NorthPark Center for our friends at Bookmarks Library. 2pm start time. My good friend Brian Busch is going to join for a few songs with his accordion! We’ll be downstairs from AMC at center court, by the big orange sculpture.

As always we will be accepting donations for Mama Chicken’s Kitchen at the event. Click here to find out how our new program helps the homeless in Dallas.

I hope to see you there!

Your friend,

We had a super fun show today at Happy House in Red Oak, Texas. It got me excited about all the shows that are coming this spring and summer. I’ve included a few photos from today’s event, featuring the one-and-only Super Joanie! Be sure to check out some of her amazing tricks here!

This is a great time to book school and library shows. We do a lot of summer reading program shows around the state. My song “Book a Trip” is a natural fit!

Book your show today!

I have a special surprise for the new year – a brand new David Chicken single! It’s called “Play!” The song is about – you guessed it – going outside and playing. Climbing a tree, riding a bike, going swimming … whatever moves you! Watch the new video here.

You can also buy the song on iTunes here 
and Amazon here

We shot the video with our Emmy-Winning friends at Allen City Television, led by the super-talented director Mark Kaufmann. It was a lot of fun to shoot the video, since we filmed all around Allen at a lot of fun locations with nice people. The video has been used to help promote physical activity within the community. Now we’ll be using it for the same purpose around the world! 

So get out and PLAY and have super-fantastic 2014! Mama Chicken, Super Joanie and I are all doing well. We hope the same for you and your family.

Your friend,
David Chicken

I hope you’ve had a great summer! Mine has been pretty busy, having done a lot of summer shows as well as my concerts and adventures in Storybook Land in South Dakota.

This is a great time to book holiday shows. I’ll be heading back to the Midwest this November, for an encore performance in Danville, Illinois at their Festival of Trees. I was born in Normal, Illinois (ironic, I know!) and most of my family is in East Peoria, so it will be good to be back in my first home state!

I’ll be performing in the David S. Palmer Arena in Danville. (Note: the arena sometimes has bumper cars on ice, which sounds like tons of fun!) If you happen to be in the area, my shows will be on November 16 at 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

We will also be back at the Farmers Branch Halloween in the Park on October 26. Show time to be announced, but we always go on in the early evening. That whole event is great fun for the family.

Hope to see you at a show soon!

Your friend,

David
