Chris Ballew, lead singer of The Presidents of the United States of America, lends his wacky chops to Caspar Babypants. "It's not much of a stretch from The Presidents," says Ballew. "I'm still singing songs about bugs and animals. I'm still drawing upon the same influences — old folk music and blues."

Press:

Chris Ballew, lead singer of The Presidents of the United States of America, has found new fame as Caspar Babypants, composing and singing for young audiences. Now kids can be a part of the show. In his all new show – Kid-Powered Jukebox – , children are invited to help Caspar Babypants and his amazing band make up new songs by participating in improvisational games during the show and also by coming prepared with their own ideas brainstormed ahead of time. The Kid-Powered Jukebox is all about the magic of songwriting and the fun that comes from making up songs out of thin air and is a unique and interactive show that children won’t soon forget.
