   About Little Miss Ann
Ann Torralba (Little Miss Ann) has been working with children for over 15 years. Previously, she worked as a Special Education teacher in the Chicago Public Schools. During this time, she also fronted a band called "Jank". It wasn't until she became a mother herself, that she found her passion in children's music. Frustrated at the isolation of being a first-time mother, she pulled out her guitar and started playing for the other mothers on her block. Thankfully, these patient moms endured those first few playdates as Torralba learned how to play childrens classics. Torralba then went on to work at The Old Town School of Folk Music as a Wiggleworms instructor. For the past four years, she has led classes for parents and their babies. After listening to Elizabeth Mitchell's "You are my flower" and the encouragement of friends, Torralba decided to make Little Miss Ann: Music for Tots. The combination of Torralba's earthy vocals, folk guitar strumming, drumming husband, Patrick and singing daughter, Olivia has made a unique sounding cd that has been well-received by children, parents, non-breeders, teachers, and even some dogs. Torralba has played kids concerts throughout Chicago at fests, bars, schools, and parks, including Millenium Park. Today, Torralba works at Old Town School of Folk music and as an educational consultant in the Chicago Public Schools. You can also read some of her writings in kidsmusicinchicago.com. Torralba regularly donates concerts to causes that benefit children.

This Saturday (May 5th), Chicagoland parents have an opportunity to not only catch some of the area�s best family entertainment, but have the experience preserved for the ages as well. Little Nashville, the Chicago-based country act known for producing music that rocks kids and grown-ups alike, starts work on their first-ever concert DVD Saturday, May 5 at 10:30 a.m. at Open Bible Academy in Belvidere, IL. (Arrive early; doors close promptly for the taping at 11 a.m.)

Cameras will be scanning the crowd to capture audience reaction, so come prepared to be an instant movie star. If you can�t make it to the show, don�t despair � the band is also calling for photos of fans wearing their best Little Nashville or country-western fashions for inclusion on the DVD.

Join Sherriff Jay Hawke and Miss Laura Lee Goodheart and their critter pals Scarlett the horse and Rawhide the dog as they film a live concert performance that�s destined to become one of the most played entries in many a family DVD library. Attendance is free and open to all ages.

Hey y'all! Spread the word!!

Our mascot, Rawhide the Dog will appear in the Friday, April 13th edition of the Chicago Tribune's "Red Eye" newspaper! He'll be a guest in their popular "5 on 5" feature in the sports section! It's a fun, witty take on current events in the world of sports...and obviously Rawhide has his paw on the pulse!

Pick up a copy wherever "Red Eye" is available or check it out online starting Friday morning at this link:

Thanks to THIS GUY for catching the typo! Why not add him as a friend while you're at it?!? He's a funny guy.

Thanks!!

If this comes as a duplicate comment, please forgive me and feel free to delete. I lost track of who I sent to. :-)

Ok, quick update here for my fellow Illinois brothers and sisters. We'll be talking about this more over the next few days.

We've just been notified that The Colgate Country Showdown is beginning it's syndicating broadcasts SATURDAY (3/3/07) in CHICAGO at 12:30 pm on ABC7!!

You'll be able to see J Juliano of "Little Nashville" LIVE on stage at the world famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville!!

We'd love to hear your reactions to J's performance. We think he brough the house down and hope you'll agree!! Just visit:

http://www.countryshowdown.com/tv_stations.asp

At the site above, you can find out when the show will be airing in YOUR Town!!

Remember...it will also air on GAC (Great American Country) down the line, but this is the National NETWORK broadcast (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, etc...depending on your location).

Thanks!!
