Chris’ first CD of his music for kids is now available! It's called Sticky Situations.

UPDATE: On September 14th, 2005 Sticky Situations was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for OUTSTANDING CHILDREN'S RECORDING!

Recorded in the Spring of 2004, the CD has 14 fun and lively tunes perfect for dancing and singing along. 

Sticky Situations features performances by many terrific B.C. musicians and was co-produced by Juno Award-nominated producer Shael Wrinch.

Sticky Situations was released on May 29, 2004. A party was held that night in Surrey, BC to celebrate the occasion. To see photos from that night (maybe you're in them) click here.

Extra Stuff: Sticky Situations Bonus Material

This is a section mainly for kids who already have Sticky Situations, but of course everyone is welcome. I've always liked seeing and reading about the "behind-the-scenes" of how things were done in movies, videos and music so if there's any kids out there like me, I hope you enjoy this section.

If you already have Sticky Situations and want the answers to the cover puzzle questions, click here.  

Inside the CD package is a brief description or explanation of each song, but I didn't have room for everything I wanted to say, or room for the lyrics to the songs, so I put them here. You can also download song samples from here too.

"The best new children's music CD in Canada! Dance to 14 fun and lively tunes..." WestCoast Families, December 2004

“If only one word could be used to describe this dynamic fourteen song musical CD, that word would be ‘variety’...The songs are great for song-a-long…The songs are funny and sometimes silly...The CD is recommended for both public and school libraries. Young children and their families will enjoy this happy CD.” Resource Links, December 2004

"Vancouver Children's Entertainer Chris Hamilton's debut CD Sticky Situations is great fun! His 14 silly songs will get your kids singing and make those long drives in the car seem much shorter. High energy, great back up vocals and catchy tunes make this debut CD a winner! ... These tunes are full of energy, easy to sing to, and I can just imagine the kids Hamilton's live performances dancing and doing actions to these songs." Winnipeg Parent, November 2004

"Sticky Situations includes songs of pet dragons and loose teeth, monkey pirates and bugs and slugs...14 fun and lively songs," Undercurrent, Bowen Island, BC, June 25, 2004

"The BEST New Children's Music CD available in Canada! Since the moment we opened this CD, we have not listened to anything else."

"The kids have it playing every day and I find myself singing along too."

"The CD is EXCELLENT! ...and believe me I do know as we spend lots of time listening to kids music...my daughter has already memorized all the ‘My Pet Dragon’ words..."

"...it has become a full-on addiction. We listen to it constantly, and we all think it's great."

"Mom...was boppin' away with her Grandson and Granddaughter. Mom especially loved the kids singing with you on the CD."
