GRAMMY-nominated children’s musician Zak Morgan delights children and parents alike with his interactive live performances. Morgan’s story-songs are filled with rich vocabulary and wordplay, and he uses music and humor as vehicles to encourage children to read books, use their imaginations, and believe in themselves.
Morgan’s debut album, Bloom, was met nationally with rave reviews and awards, and his second CD, When Bullfrogs Croak, was nominated for a 2003 GRAMMY award, a rare feat for an independent release. Morgan’s latest project, The Candy Machine, is a poetic concept album for the entire family in which the precocious Suzy and her younger brother Joe embark on a selfish search for the elusive Island of Sugar but wind up finding the Golden Rule instead.
Morgan has performed more than 1,400 concerts throughout the United States in schools, libraries and theaters since 1999 and his shows are always uplifting, educational, and fun for all ages.
a possible successor to [Shel] Silverstein…these songs/poems will delight and inspire any listener.

A wonderful children’s CD, richly endowed with clever wordplay and vivid detail…. The exceptional poetry of Bloom is further buoyed by the talented musicianship.
