Recess Monkey is comprised of three Seattle teachers (Jack, Daron and Drew), who perform kid-driven songs that spring from their experiences in the classroom and memories of being young. Striking a balance between goofy and cerebral, Recess Monkey invites its audience to rock along with them through an interactive set filled with sing-a-longs and tons of dancing! Their sixth album, The Final Funktier blends funk and new wave synth into a stratospheric dance party that adults love as much as their kids.

Time Magazine said of Recess Monkey, "If Seattle is the new bastion of kindie rockers, then elementary school teachers Jack Forman, Daron Henry and Drew Holloway are the city's breakout stars."

USA Today said of Recess Monkey, "These kids songs are awesome! There are bands you can’t go wrong with, and this is one of them."

Zooglobble.com said, "Recess Monkey is the heart of kids music today."
