Juno nomination & Lisa interview February 09, 2008
The Doodlebops have been nominated "Children's Album of the Year" for the 2008 Juno Awards. They're up against: Daniel Cook and Friends, Eddie Douglas, Jen Gould and Windsor Symphony Orchestra. The award show will broadcast, Sunday, April 6th on CTV. Good luck guys!
My friend, Eric Winkler, got the chance to interview Lisa for the Kansas City Star! The interview is really great, so make sure you check it out. Here is a snippet:
"We talked to Lisa Lennox, 26, who plays lead singer Deedee with her Doodlebop siblings, Rooney and Moe. She was in Miami, where she was vacationing with "best buddy" Chad McNamara (he's Rooney Doodle).
Q. It’s got to be much nicer weather where you are (Miami) than up in Canada, I guess.
A. Yeah, it’s a little hotter here … so I’m in no rush (to leave).
How did you become a Doodlebop?
I've been dancing since I was a young kid, like 3 years old. Then through school I got into choir and singing. I went to a music theater-arts high school, and (eventually I) got my degree in music theater. With auditions (for the show four years ago), we had no idea it was even going to be a TV show. We just thought it was another music-theater show."
Eric also got the opportunity to take his son to the Doodlebops LIVE show at the Sprint Center on January 28th! To read about their adventure, check out his blog here! Here are some of the pictures and videos:
