Catching up on my local news, I turned the page of my weekly Oak Leaves and found this nice hometown boy story about Lee DeWyze, the reigning American Idol.
Besides the fact that I actually have a music category on this blog, and have posted on the pop culture phenomenon, this story makes it to a post because of one of DeWyze’s early recording efforts.
Helping out a bandmate with a marketing project in 2008, DeWyze can be heard singing children’s songs on a CD promoting River Forest-based Square One Organics.
The CD was the brainchild of ex commodities trader Denise Henderson and her husband Jeff, who were looking for a hip way to launch their new organic baby food business.
DeWyze can be heard singing “Vitamin A” and a lullaby on “Parents Wish.”
Hear “Vitamin A” here at Chicago Parent.
