In Diane Finn’s children’s storybook “The Secrets of Plymouth Rock the rock talks. It tells the story of the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Mayflower on December 21, 1620 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Most importantly in 2019 young audiences in Plymouth Massachusetts are learning not only does the rock talk, it sings! Singer songwriter Candido Bretto takes 28 Plymouth elementary school students (4th and 5th graders) and their music teachers on a “rockin” Plymouth musical journey from cover-to-cover of Finn’s book with “Rockin’ The Secrets Of Plymouth Rock”, a music extravaganza with 12 original songs. The album incorporates a wide range of musical styles from classic Waltzes to Calypso, Marches, Broadway, Opera, Swing Jazz and of course Rock. Candido and the students sing about hope, optimism, survival and self awareness in a wonderful new CD coming out in October. Its Plymouth Rock like you’ve never heard it before.

“The songs are adorable! I think you’re onto something.”

-Jazz singer Rebecca Parris
