Why We {Heart} Music Mike

This past Thanksgiving weekend, I had lots of time to reflect on what I am truly thankful for. I am thankful for family, friends, health, and the powerful network of mommies we at Fairfield County Mom have created.

Thinking about all we’ve done this year, it’s not just the mommies that I’m thankful for knowing; it’s also the people who have continuously supported Fairfield County Mom. One of those special individuals is Michael Cranmer.

“Music Mike,” the proud daddy of a 4-year-old, has been such a fan of FCM, and we are so lucky to have done some great events with him this past year! Mike is a musician whose passion is acoustic children’s entertainment. Mike best expresses that passion through performing at children’s birthday parties, playgroups, holiday events, naming ceremonies, etc.

He brings an extensive repertoire of musical tunes and instruments for the kiddos to shake, tap, and dance with. There’s no better proof of Mike’s passion for entertaining children than watching him get the kids to dance and play with their instruments throughout his performance. Mike says he loves to entertain children and “illuminate their world” with music and instruments, many that they typically would not previously have been exposed to, like a banjo or ukulele.

At our August Musical Play Date with Mike, I loved watching my son jump up on stage, shaking a tambourine and maracas while dancing his little heart out. I watched my son and a bunch of other tots enjoy dancing and jamming to acoustic versions of everything from Old McDonald to Yellow Submarine.

Music Mike is a one-of-a-kind entertainer for kids with heartfelt and genuine enthusiasm and passion. We can’t wait to make music with Mike again soon!

So, Music Mike, we at FCM are so thankful for YOU and all the love you’ve shown us this year! We can’t wait to make some music with you again soon!
