The Rappin’ Cowboy, Chris Sand, to perform from children’s album, “Magic Beans”

North Valley Music School celebrates Mother’s Day weekend with Missoula musician Chris Sand performing from his album, “Magic Beans: 16 Songs for Sprouting Children and Other Human Beans!” May 11.

Released in 2023, “Magic Beans,” is Sand’s first album of children’s music. As with his other records, Sand, known as the Rappin’ Cowboy, “continues intertwining rap music, comedy and rural poetics to tell stories, build connections, and get folks — young and old alike — thinking in fresh, interconnected ways,” according to his bio rappincowboy.com.  

The album is accompanied by the “Magic Beans Songbook,” an illustrated 36-page lyric and coloring book featuring the songs, plus one by his daughter.
