The Little Ditties
The Little Ditties are an ECMA*-winning kids' group who are here to share music and stories with kids, families, friends and neighbours!
The Little Ditties are fronted by father and entertainer Jeremy Holmes (vocals, guitar) featuring Shane Kerr (bass) and Dave Pashley (drums), with live appearances by puppet band members Kevin the Kitten and Delly Ditty,
The Little Ditties bring fun, family-friendly original music and performances to
children of all ages.
Jeremy was a full time carpenter - until
his two daughters came into the world. He
started writing songs for them and hasn't stopped. He has also worked to provide
music therapy to young children.
Additionally, he runs a non-profit musical instrument recycling organization with his wife
Jenn (and their friends) called RockTumbler.
The Little Ditties’ East Coast Music Award- winning debut, "The Little Ditties", was co-produced, recorded and mixed by TimJim Baker (Matt Mays & El Torpedo, The Carletones), who also added keys and percussion.
Extra help on guitars was provided by Adam Baldwin (Matt Mays). You'll smile and clap along with songs like “The Cow Goes Moo”, “Honey on My Toast”, “A Hug”, and the preschool punk jam, “Attack of the Snacks” – and most likely have them stuck in your head for days. If you find yourself dancing in public, just tell everyone
that you're rocking out to The Little Ditties!
The Little Ditties have performed for children
and everyone else at special events and festivals across their home province of Nova Scotia and Eastern Canada. They'd love to bring their exciting brand of childrens' music and entertainment as far as there are kids to hear it!
