Ida Performs at the BPP
Formed in 1992 by Daniel Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell in Brooklyn, Ida was recognized immediately for its innovative indie-rock-meets-folk flavor. Since then, they have toured the country with Sunny Day Real Estate and Low, among others. But when Littleton and Mitchell had their first child, Storey, a new chapter opened for Ida...they started making music for children, too. Now Ida has two audiences, but they think of their music as one cohesive whole - and they hope that none of their music has an age limit.
Check them out doing "Green Green Rocky Road" on the BPP last week:

I love Elizabeth Mitchell's voice. I have a couple of the kid's records she's done, and our little guy loves them. Thanks for posting this.
Hey, who was that dancing in the control booth? That was kinda cute.
It's absolutely beautiful! Thank you for making this available to us.
I love it! My family has enjoyed Little Bird Records music, and this was a real treat! We hope to see more of them! Thanks!
I like it when Storey sang.
We have been fans of their stuff in the past and it's great to see them get much deserved attention...
The dancing person was a member of the "Ida" family, I believe she's Elizabeth's mom and Storey's grandmother. They were all very nice people and Storey is a great girl.
Little guys love them and so does this big old guy.
William and his Mom are so, so happy! We have watched this 4 times, and every time, we clap at the end. Beautiful job!
Eva (5) and Jordi (2) Fuentes, my day care charges, LOVE the Little Bird CD. Eva is convinced Storey could be her best friend, and Jordi brings me the CD when he wants to go to sleep. Thanks for the video NPR!
I am Sylvia Korver's mom and William's GRANDma. I bought William his first Elizabeth Mitchell CD. Sylvie and William were immediately hooked! I use the music in my first grade classroom. Thank you! You have enriched so many lives- Gratefully yours- Sunni Eilers
All I can say is thanks for sharing that absouletly beautiful music. May your songs be heard all over the world.
We love Liz and Dan and Storey over here in London, England! Thank you so much for posting this!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful music! I'm a preschool teacher and Elizabeth Mitchell's songs get played in our school almost everyday, on CD and then by me on guitar or another teacher on autoharp! Great to see you play "live" all the way in Oregon! Play on!
Storey is such a brave girl and has such a sweet voice...just like her Mama. I hope Storey can come to perform at Rock Camp this summer. the girls would be inspired by her. :) Alison
wow.
I loved this! I've never heard them before, but that's going to change now.
That was absolutely awesome. You three are the bomb! I love you soooo
