"Dancing with My Daddy" - Kira Willey

Artist: Kira Willey

Song: "Dancing With My Daddy"

Album: N/A

Description: I'm sure that the timing of the release of this song celebrating dads just a few days before Father's Day is purely coincidental.  Regardless, enjoy the samba, which, if you like, you can receive for free just for signing up for Willey's newsletter.

Hey! Yeah! Yay! - Cinema Cycle

Artist: Cinema Cycle

Album: Hey! Yeah! Yay! (Music for Parents and Kids)

Description: Nashville indie-pop for a good cause.  Cinema Cycle is Nashville musician David Arnold, with some help from others, and it's got a wonderful polyglot/Beck-ian sound reminiscent of the great Bunny Clogs.  Sometimes heartfelt, sometimes just danceable, and, heck, there's a song on the six-song EP about financial stress ("Broke as in Whoa").  All proceeds from the album's download will go towards finding a cure for ALS aka Lou Gehrig's Disease.  (Watch this video for more on the inspiration behind one of the songs.)
