Tiny Mule Songs

Kids Show:
Fun, silly, educational! I am a librarian by day, and love to sing popular song as well as original tunes.
I play songs that get the kids giggling and dancing, following directions, and learning new words, new musical terms, and engaging in repetitious songs that kids AND adults will enjoy! I also like to help them learn new skills like whistling, snapping, winking, and hopping!

With groovy guitar and nimble harmonica, the Mountain Buddies use their bouncy boings and up-tempo boogies to get you dancing, singing along, and pulling at your heart strings. Kids and grown-ups alike have become enamored with their silly sonic cartoons filled with animals and insects, high fives and unforgettable cast of characters.

The Mountain Buddies provide a respite from children’s music monotony. With Nic Clark on harmonica and vocals, and Sean Lamborne on guitar and vocals, these grown up kids craft songs geared toward parents and their little ones.

Playing everywhere from libraries and city events to birthday parties and preschool ice cream socials… Their live shows are designed to engage all ages through collective singing, hilarious parades, and audience input. Parents play just as big a role as the kids in creating an air of hilarity and hijinks. An almost carnival atmosphere fills the venue as kids and parents get into the boppy sing-alongs, parading as penguins and ocelots, flap their wings in a Bird Party, or roaring like a ferocious tiger.

New music from The Mountain Buddies seems to come at lightning speed, frequently releasing a song or two every month. Upcoming releases will expand their cartoon world into new territory answering the BIG questions… Who is Stan the Ice Cream Man? Can you Catch that Leprechaun? How do you build a scarecrow?

This project piggy backed off of two individual projects that Nic and Sean were working on separately. Sean and his son Arlo (a third member of the team) were prolifically filling up a YouTube page called Tiny Mule Songs… where they learned and performed an original or cover song each week while Arlo was between the ages of 5 and 8 years old.

Nic had created his own family music album "Love your Life": Songs for the Whole Family" with blues record label, Little Village Foundation, joined by heavy hitters like Charlie Hunter.

Sean and Nic met near the end of Covid and hit it off as they set off to create a “music festival for kids” (which they accomplished twice!)… They played live for a few years before they emerged from their 2025 Winter hibernation as The Mountain Buddies, a moment which set them off on recording the songs they had been playing live for years… and building an audio and visual team to help their wacky visions come to life.

The Mountain Buddies are excited to continue their adventure as the parade of kids, parents, and educators get longer and longer behind them… weaving their way through a cartoon world populating with a cast of characters they can’t wait to introduce.
