Gustafer Yellowgold (kids show) April 14, 2012

Zooglobble Recommended!: "By themselves, the songs or the animation of Gustafer Yellowgold would be worth hearing (or watching). Combined, it's one of the most unique pieces of family entertainment you'll see this year."

Gustafer Yellowgold concerts are a unique blend of live music and moving image. The minimally animated illustrations are accompanied by illustrator/songwriter Morgan Taylor's catchy and original story-songs for a truly different multimedia experience that is entrancing children, teens and adults alike.Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold is a small, yellow, cone-headed fellow, who came to Earth from the Sun and has a knack for finding himself neck-deep in absurd situations as he explores his new life in the Minnesota woods. Illustrator/songwriter/musician Morgan Taylor developed the "musical moving book" Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and animated storybook.

Gustafer is not just for kids! Possessing an unusual crossover appeal, Gustafer Yellowgold's Show has performed as the support act for WILCO and The Polyphonic Spree, as well as headlining kids' venues all across the U.S., in London, and as far away as Seoul, Korea. Gustafer has also been seen off-Broadway in his own productions of Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Sensation and Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Sock.

Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, praised by Newsweek as "full of great pop tunes and hand-drawn animation about a li'l fella from the sun." The Los Angeles Times enthused, "Taylor's whimsical, lightly psychedelic world forms an interesting bridge between adult and kids' music." The Washington Post declared, "He's a star on stage and screen! ... The mix of catchy tunes and offbeat stories has endeared Taylor, and Gustafer, to teenagers as well." The Chicago Tribune wrote, "Gustafer Yellowgold has made kids' music so cool that teenagers and ultra-hip bands such as Wilco want to get in on the act ... a shiny blend of pop art and pop tunes." New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor "Best Kids' Performer," calling Taylor "the most original performer on the family-music scene today."
