Last week, we wrote about music apps firm Mibblio’s children’s app featuring rapper Matisyahu. Now they’ve roped in more stars for a Christmas app: Santa’s Merry Band.
Like who? KT Tunstall, Indigo Girls and Emmy the Great & Tim Wheeler are the ones that jumped out for us, although the app’s soundtrack also features G. Love, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Dan Hicks and Rosie Thomas.
What’s the app? Well, it’s the latest spin-off from the main Mibblio app, which gets children playing along to songs using virtual instruments, which they do by tapping buttons on their iPad screen.
Those include piano, guitar and various percussion instruments, with everything accessible from the main screen – which also shows illustrations and the words to the songs.
Oh yes, the songs: this is a Christmas app, so they’re all suitably festive. Indigo Girls contribute I Feel The Christmas Spirit, for example, while KT Tunstall’s track is the Hawaiian-themed Mele Kalikimaka (that’s “Merry Christmas” in Hawaii, obv.)
Santa’s Merry Band costs £2.99 for iPad on Apple’s App Store.
