Good Rockin' Daddies
Good Rockin' Daddies 
Good Rockin' Daddies are a four-piece electric band that plays roots oriented music for
kids and their families. Their musical styles include early rock and roll, blues, old country, reggae, even
polka, while covering subject matter from reading and recycling to water conservation and
catching frogs.
Good Rockin' Daddies shows are designed to maximize audience participation. Children
are encouraged to sing along and do hand motions in several of the Daddies' songs, while
others call for lyrical input from the children to help complete some of the song verses. A
well-paced, volume controlled, 45 minute set is offered, with young ears and attention
spans in mind.
Good Rockin' Daddies are led by Ted DeMille and Randall Morabito. Ted is a well
respected elementary school teacher in Maine. A former member of the award winning
bluegrass band, the OAKHURST BOYS, he currently fronts local bluegrass favorites,
NORTH STAR. Randall, a local audio engineer, has worked with many national
touring acts, including the role of sideman for Bo Diddley and Sleepy LaBeef. Together,
with their rhythm section of P.J playing bass, and Rocky on the drums, they form a rockin'
combo that delivers educationally based material with an infectious beat that never fails to
inspire children's attention and participation.
Performing material from their album, "Born To Boogie", Good Rockin' Daddies have entertained enthusiastic audiences at schools
and festivals all over Southern and Central Maine. Their ten song release, "Born To Boogie" has enjoyed glowing reviews in several national academic and parental magazines, and has become a favorite of librarians and teachers across the country.
Their popular song, "Recycle It", aired as a public service video on WCSH-TV.
Good Rockin' Daddies participated as featured foreign guest performers in the
international children's music festival, "Flying Elephant '98", in Palanga and Juodkrante,
Lithuania on July 30 & 31, 1998. Randall and Ted traveled to the Baltic nation as proud
cultural ambassadors representing America and the State of Maine with official
endorsement of their mission from Governor Angus King, Jr..
Good Rockin' Daddies shows and recordings may have roots in the past, but they also embrace today's mediums. Their album, "Born To Boogie", is supported by their website, www.goodrockindaddies.com. The site offers further access to their music,
song lyrics, musical influences, and messages with e-mail correspondence encouraged.
