NEW! Concert "Invincible" - It’s a bird? It’s a plane? NO!! It’s the power of the brain! Roger’s Day’s newest show “Invincible” encourages and empowers young super heroes everywhere to solve the problem and save the day by using the greatest super power of all: imagination!
Roger Day’s newest project is a sequel to his popular “Dream Big!” concert and CD. “Invincible” is a collection of new songs and young characters using their brain power, courageous spirit, reading and imagination to solve problems and make a difference in the world. Check out a few of the new songs in this concert:
• "Invincible" is the theme song of the show. Kapow! Kaboom! Zap!! All those super hero super powers are great, but the real super hero power is using your imagination and saving the day "through the pages of the book".
• "When the World Needs a Super Hero"...Roger's first ever co-write with his son, Thomas; all about the problems young super heroes face like having to clean your room before you can save the world.
• "Everyday Heroes" celebrates the everyday heroes in a child's day who make the biggest difference of all: teachers, librarians, police officers and parents!
• "Turn the Page" encourages young readers to discover what really happens, and how to solve the problem..."Turn the Page".
"It's A Roger Day Holiday" - Let two-time Parents’ Choice Gold award-winner Roger Day make your season merry and bright with his new “It’s a Roger Day Holiday” show. A combination of witty, whimsical originals like “Ukulele Christmas” – Santa and his surfboard! -- and fun re-makes of familiar songs like his rockabilly version of “Must Be Santa”, all of Roger’s holiday shows end with a generous helping of classic sing-a-longs like “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer” and “Jingle Bells”. And of course, what yuletide would be complete without a tasty “Mosquito Burrito” wrapped under the tree!
And NOW a multi-media performance available for the 2015 - 2016 year! Marsh Mud Madness premiered at the Savannah Music Festival back in Mar, 2010. By September the next year, Roger was working with the Georgia Sea Grant Foundation and Savannah Music Festival to bring this upbeat new educational concert to K-5 schools & public audiences all around the state, complete with very exciting study guides, available to you, too! And along the way, they made a live DVD of the project! Join Roger on his all original, highly-interactive musical journey up & down the amazing Atlantic seacoast, knee deep in squishy, oozy marsh mud and marveling at loggerhead turtles, ghost crabs & other cool coastal residents. The Savannah Morning News reported teachers were saying, "This is exceptional! Every child is engaged...even the ones who are normally reluctant to participate"...and why? Because it's a Roger Day concert and you can't help dancing in your seat and singing along!

WORKSHOPSFrom First Idea to Finished Song: A Creative Writing Workshop with Songwriter Roger Day
Roger's songwriting workshop uses many of the same creative writing techniques that students are already learning in class - developing main ideas, brainstorming, editing, etc. Using these techniques and others, Roger guides students through 5 easy steps to write and record an original song in one class period. He opens the workshop with some of his original songs and explains the challenges he faced with each song and how he solved them. The students then move on to create their own original song by developing an idea and choosing music, brainstorming to refine the idea and editing their product to produce a final song in a fun and participatory process.
Roger's songwriting workshop is a fresh approach to creative writing and authoring. It gives students a chance to develop language and ideas, learn about the importance of meter and rhyme and participate in the creative process. Once back in the classroom, students can continue to develop the song started in the workshop or be encouraged to write new songs. Appropriate for elementary ages.
