We have recently had two exciting video shoots with the City of Allen! They were for a new original song that I wrote promoting fire safety. Be sure to check back soon for the finished song and video.

On a related note, Sumer Reading Shows are in full swing. Things always heat up this time of year, and it’s a blast! Check my show schedule and come sing and dance!

I hope to see you soon!

I hope the holiday season treated you well. We had a great time visiting family (and seeing some snow!) and savoring every special moment. I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2019.

Hopefully I’ll be seeing you at some of my upcoming concerts! We’re starting to book up so many new dates will be posted soon.

Happy summer! I hope yours is getting off to a fantastic start. Mine has been very busy! Lots of library and school shows this time of year. Super Diego has been doing a great job with his doggy tricks. I am so thankful that Super Joanie was able to help train him. It really was a turning point. Since then Super Diego has gone on to entertain thousands of kids, and he’s getting better with each show!

My good friends Diane Whiting and Brian Busch have been joining me at the shows. Diane helps with the kids on stage and leads the audience through hand signs on “Under the Willow Tree”, just like Mama Chicken used to do. Brian plays his accordion at the shows and wow, it adds a lot! Who knew an accordion would fit so well with my songs? I sure didn’t! I am very thankful to have Brian, Diane and Super Diego at the shows to help make them better. I hope you can catch one soon! Check here for a list of upcoming events.

Don’t forget to book now for fall and winter events! Call toll-free 866-FUN-SONG (866-386-7664) or email info@davidchicken.com

It’s that time of year! Once again I’ll be a “Celebrity Scooper” at Ben & Jerry’s Plano this Tuesday at 3:30pm. Come see me and get your fill of some super yummy B&J ice cream. And raise money for cancer research!

See you tomorrow,
David

David Chicken at Ben & Jerry’s

Today I’d like to announce a very special new project: A charity called “Mama Chicken’s Kitchen“. Mama Chicken – Jane McMahon – cared deeply about the less fortunate people among us. While thinking of a way to honor her, we decided to start this organization with a singular goal: getting food and supplies directly to homeless people. We will start in Dallas and hopefully it will grow.

Over the past several months I have been taking food and supplies to people downtown. They are so appreciative and need it so badly. My wife Sarah and I will start going downtown as often as possible – every time we have donations to deliver – and give them directly to the homeless people. 100% of everything donated will go directly to the homeless.

Items may be dropped off at any David Chicken show, or you can make donations online. Please visit the new website for more information.

I love you Mama.

I hope that you have a great Thanksgiving! We are going to be having some of Mama Chicken’s famous stuffing during our meal today. If you’d like to try some too, the recipe is available here!

We will be performing this Saturday at NorthPark Center with our friends at Bookmarks Library. 2pm. Hope to see you then!

Love.
David

I hope you’re having a great Halloween season. Things have been hard for me with the passing of Mama Chicken. She loved our shows and truly loved performing. Every show I do will be with her memory foremost in my mind.

She very much wanted the show to go on, and so it does. Super Joanie and myself — along with my wife Sarah Chicken — have several fun Halloween-themed shows coming up. One is in the Houston area and the other is in Carrollton, Texas. You can view info on each one here.

Hope to see you at a show. Have a safe and happy Hallowen!

David & Mama Chicken Halloween

I write you today with the heaviest of hearts. My beloved Mama Chicken passed away this week. She had been fighting lung cancer since December. Mama passed peacefully, with her hand in mine, as I told her I loved her.

She was such a strong and loving person. Despite having many physical ailments, including cancer most recently, she was always up performing at our shows, making children smile. She was singing and rapping as recently as April at NorthPark Center.

Mama’s name away from the stage was Jane McMahon. I play music because of her. She saw that I loved music and art at an early age, and she cultivated those talents by taking me to many, many live musical performances. She arranged painting lessons at age 5. Guitar lessons at age 13. Thank you Mama for giving me the gift of music.

Mama will continue to inspire and guide me through life. She lives on in my heart, and in the hearts of the many who loved her. I know that she now has the best front-row seats for all of my performances.

There will be a Memorial service for Jane McMahon this Saturday at 10:30 am. It will be a celebration of her life, and appropriate for children. More info here.

I love you Mama,
David
