The Asylum Street Spankers were a unique American band formed in the mid-90s, known for their eclectic blending of styles and their witty, satirical lyrics. However, they are primarily not a children’s music artist. Their fusion of traditional American musical genres – such as blues, jazz, country, and folk – catered more to adult audiences, though they did release a popular children’s album titled “Mommy Says No!” in 2007. The music of Asylum Street Spankers is known for its raw, often acoustic, performances with a variety of instrumental accompaniments. Their songs contain humor but also provide social and political critique. They disbanded in 2011 but left a memorable imprint on the American music scene through their innovative arrangements and theatrical performances. Their creative, artistic spirit appeals to a wide range of tastes, keeping their music alive even after their breakup.
