Grammy-winning musician releases new album early: He’s already known around the world as a member of the Grammy-winning Zac Brown Band and successful children’s author. Now, musician Coy Bowles will be known to many for something else — giving families something new to listen to during this strange time of social distancing.
“The music is a hundred-percent positive, and it’s great for kids,” says Bowles of Music for Tiny Humans, his first-ever children’s album. Slated to hit streaming services two months from now, Bowles fast-tracked the album for release Friday. “It was supposed to come out in May, coinciding with Teacher Appreciation, which I think everybody has a bigger appreciation for teachers now,” says Coy Bowles with a laugh.
Bowles co-wrote and produced with album with Latin Grammy winner Carlos Sosa, and says the ten tracks cover a wide range of genres. “It’s amazing music, some of the best work that I’ve ever done, I’m excited to for it to get into homes,” Bowles says.
Music for Tiny Humans is now available on streaming platforms including Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora. Along with releasing the album early, Bowles is currently performing live shows for kids on his Instagram and Facebook accounts, happening daily at 4:00 p.m.
Asked why he’s so passionate about using his creativity to advocate for children and families, Bowles says it all stems from the gratitude he feels about a career he never thought was possible when he was younger.
“Now, 15 years later, doing this stuff, I have a voice to a certain degree, and I think it’s my duty with that voice to give back, you know? And I take that very seriously.”

FOX’s “Duncanville” mixes humor & heart: “Duncanville” may be the new kid on the block when it comes to FOX’s Animation Domination lineup, but new is a relative term.
“We were on the fast-track, and it’s taken us four years,” says co-creator Julie Thacker Scully. Adds her husband Mike, “We first started talking with Amy about the idea in 2016.”
The “Amy” they’re talking about is Amy Poehler, who created the show with the couple and also voices several characters. “Duncanville” centers on a 15-year-old named Duncan, caught somewhere in the weird world between childhood and adulthood.
“We like the age of 15 because…you can taste freedom and independence, but you really don’t have any at all,” says Mike. As to whether the writers are using material from their own teen years, Julie says, “Well, we have five daughters! So we don’t have to go back too far to find some messy situations!”
You can catch “Duncanville” Sundays at 8:30 p.m. on FOX 5 Atlanta – and click the video player to see more of our interview with the co-creators at the recent SCAD aTVfest in Midtown.
