Following the recent announcement of their much-anticipated fifth record, The Green Album, ARIA and AIR award-winning children’s act Teeny Tiny Stevies have revealed details of their partnership with the National Landcare Network as they plan a Central Coast performance on July 6.
The duo, featuring sisters Byll and Beth Stephen, have volunteered with Landcare to plant one tree for every pre-sold album or activity pack until April 22, Earth Day.
This exciting collaboration of music and environmental action reflects the album’s key focus of climate change and the environment, a topic very close to the band’s heart and an issue that was highlighted as a concern by parents of their young fans.
Recyclable Activity Packs are also available for purchase via pre-sale now with a digital album and to inspire action and boost the impact of the partnership, the band will be including an invitation within the pack to encourage families to join their local Landcare group via a QR code, fostering a legacy of environmental stewardship for future generations.
“Music has the power to bring people together, and now, thanks to community Landcare, we’re using that power to bring families closer to nature. It’s a win-win for everyone,” Byll said.
“As a human and parent, I want to make a positive impact and contribution in protecting and sustaining our environment in whatever way I can.
“I’m also extremely time-poor with young kids, sometimes just getting by day by day.
“Hopefully our partnership with Landcare will help our audience by cutting out the research and prep time involved so it’s more easily accessible for them to get involved too.
“I can’t wait to plant a tree for every pre-sale album.
“I hope we sell heaps.
“I’m excited to get my hands dirty with my band mates, friends and kids.”
Beth said she looked forward to sharing the experience with her immediate community as well as growing her community through this shared interest and outcome.
“By joining a Landcare group, families are not only helping the environment but also creating memories that will last a lifetime,” she said.
“It’s about bonding, learning, and making a positive impact together.”
The sisters have also announced their Twice The Love Tour with tickets on sale commencing in Byron Bay on June 7, visiting Queensland, NSW, Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria, wrapping in mid-October.
They will be performing at Central Coast Leagues Club on July 6 at 10.30am.
The tree planting will be completed while the sisters are on tour by connecting with the local Landcare networks in each location and photos will be posted and shared on both the National Landcare Network and Teeny Tiny Stevies socials, so fans can keep an eye on their progress.
Teeny Tiny Stevies do not claim to be climate or sustainability experts, but they are two mums with a platform, trying to do what they can in the most effective way they can, recognising the superpower of music to relay a message.
The Green Album, released via ABC Music, follows releases How to Be Creative (2022), Thoughtful Songs for Little People (2020), Helpful Songs for Little People (2018) and initial offering, Useful Songs for Little People (2015).
