The new CD’s title song, “My Trampoline,” is inching its way up the “13 under 13” hot rotation playlist on the Kids Place Live channel, according to channel director Mindy Thomas.

Himmelman recorded the concert with an audience of kids and parents at SIRIUS XM Radio’s studios in Washington, DC. The “Rumpus Room” special will air on Kids Place Live, SIRIUS and XM channel 116.

Thomas says she was impressed with Himmelman’s unusual performance style. “Peter is a true artist. He's got such an authentic, natural rapport with both the kids and the adults in his audience. He doesn't try too hard, he's always spontaneous, and it's obvious he loves what he's doing."

My Trampoline is the first from a brand new family music label, Minivan Productions, distributed by Allegro Media Group (www.allegro-music.com).With songs about a trampoline, an African leopard tortoise named King Ferdinand, a picky eater named Peter, and the scarcity of kids named Steve, Himmelman mixes his offbeat sense of humor with lush pop stylings and irresistible beats to delight all ages.
