New Kids Video, Grammy Ballot, and Sultans Dates!

Happy Friday!

New Kids Video!

It is Release Day for my new single for families called ON HALLOWEEN! We invite young listeners to clap, sing and dance with this spooky new song! You can listen to it on your favourite DSPs here: https://chrismckhool.lnk.to/Halloween

You can watch the new video here, or click on the picture below.

ON HALLOWEEN is the third single from my upcoming album, Global Dance Party!, to be released on October 30, 2026. ON HALLOWEEN is a spooky, mischievous dance party where cats creep, witches cackle, pumpkins sing, and ghosts come knocking in this playful musical adventure. A mysterious Film Noir groove, retro ’60s Theremin, infectious rhythm, scat singing, and children’s chorus create a cinematic Halloween celebration made for dancing, costumes, classrooms, and trick-or-treating.

Come see us play live!  Fall Family Show Tour Dates:

Oct. 30, 2026, Kingston Road Village Arts Centre (CD Release Halloween Bash), Toronto ON
Nov. 29, 2026, artsPlace Canmore, Canmore AB
Dec. 13, 2026, Mississauga Living Arts Centre, Mississauga ON

On the Grammy Ballot!

I am excited that my 2026 kids album LITTLE LEAF is on the Grammy Ballot! If you are a voting member, please check it out in the Best Children’s Album category!

And a shoutout to Canadian Grammy members here on this list, I have created a Facebook group The GRAMMY® Eh-List — a private community for Canadian artists, musicians, producers, songwriters and other music professionals with work submitted for GRAMMY® consideration.

This is a place to connect with fellow Canadians, share your For Your Consideration work, discover what other Canadian creators have submitted, and support one another during the GRAMMY® consideration and voting season. So come share your music, listen to your fellow members’ work, make genuine connections and celebrate the incredible music being made across Canada!
