Octopretzel creates music that is truly enjoyable for families, not just kids. Their music, comprised of original songs as well as traditional favorites, is whimsical and fun, and has an underlying sensitivity for nature, feelings and story. Best described as folk music, it crosses generations and genres, weaving together styles such as bluegrass, rock and roll, lullabies and nursery rhymes. Their shows integrate elements of many cultures such as African drumming, klezmer fiddling, middle-eastern percussion and singing styles, and songs with words in Spanish, Hebrew and even Quechua. They make music accessible to all their listeners.
