TV Shows We Love: The Biscuit Brothers by Jan Hames
Not too far from Austin, Texas–the Live Music Capital of the World–lies a magical, musical farm where Old MacDonald created the Educational Institute for Every Instrument in the Orchestra, also known as E.I.E.I.O.
The Biscuit Brothers Dusty and Buford, along with their sister Buttermilk and best friend Tiny Scarecrow, take care of the farm for Old MacDonald, making sure that the baby instruments have enough fresh melodies to grow strong and fill up with all kinds of music. Along the way, the Biscuit Brothers bring to life old favorite songs with a modern twist and original compositions, all well seasoned with a hefty dose of music education.
The Biscuit Brothers Television Show is a non-profit project, dedicated to bringing music and learning together into the lives of families everywhere. First aired in April 2005, this Emmy Award winning show is now in its fifth season on Austin’s local PBS station KLRU. Founders Allen Robertson (Buford), Jerome Schooler (Dusty), and producer writer and musician Damon Brown, make the series available free – that’s right, free – to PBS stations around the country.
