Dan Zanes is all over the place these days. And I don’t just mean that I keep spotting him pushing a Food Coop shopping cart on Union Street.

The new Matthew Broderick movie called Wonderful World written and directed by Josh Goldin features songs by Zanes. Broderick plays a frustrated children’s music performer. I think Zanes even appears in the film as a member of Broderick’s band.

But that’s not all. Zanes has a new album of Broadway tunes coming out with the likes of Carol Channing, Matthew Broderick and Brian Stokes Mitchell singing vocals with him.

76 Trombones features many B’way faves including I Won’t Grow Up, Tomorrow, Before the Parade Passes By, I Can Do That and Hello Dolly.

Sounds like a great idea to me: Zanes doin’ B’way. Way to go Dan!

On February 6th at 2PM & 5PM you can catch Dan Zanes at BAM’s Sounds Like Brooklyn Music Festival, where he will be performing old favorites and new songs in English and Spanish, and featuring special guests such as tap dancer extraordinaire Derick K. Grant, buzuq player Tareq Abboushi, The Brooklyn Symphony Youth Orchestra, and an African drum and dance ensemble from Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration’s Youth Arts Academy. For all ages.
