Animal Party Games Mystery / Spy Kids DJ Make A Movie Improv Acting Sing Along
Animal Party
Your Work is Truly Making a Difference
Thank you so much for a terrific “Animal Party” last weekend. It was the perfect combination of fun and education, and you made it easy for all the kids (ages 5-9) to get into the action. Andrew says he really liked the story, and the singing and games were just what we had hoped for.
You inspired us all to get in touch with our planet and to do what we can to help. Andrew raised more than $600 for Trees for the Future, (we needed about $500 to adopt a village). Please keep in touch about your movie. Andrew would be thrilled to hear how everything goes and I am sure he’d like to be involved in any way he can. Eric, your work is truly making a difference.

We Love Your Songs!
We very much enjoyed having you play at Alyssa’s party! You are great with the kids, getting them going, etc. Plus we love your songs! It was extra special that we already knew the songs from the CD. When you were getting ready for them to jump the river and sing the Vine-to-Vine song, I saw Alyssa so excited standing in front of you with her hands kind of clasped, sort of jumping with excitement!
It was very special for both of my kids and they have talked about it since. We were very pleased to give the CD’s out as the party favors! My kids have really got a lot out of the songs (through repeated listening) about the environmental/animal issues. Hopefully, the songs will sink-in to a few of the 14 other kids who were there! Good luck with all your plans for the cause! I have to tell you, the weekend following Alyssa’s party we made a trip to New Paltz, NY. I think all the way up and all the way back we listened to Animal Party!

A Great Gift for Your Child
As the owner of a toy store I highly recommend this for kids of all ages. I have played Eric’s CD in my store and have gotten many great responses to it.
I have also had the pleasure of hearing Eric sing live and was very impressed as were the customers in my store. A great gift for your child or another.

It Reminded Me of the New School House Rock Sound.
Animal Party clearly demonstrates your commitment to creating interesting and educational content for children. In particular, your approach to music is fresh and clearly distinguishable from the vast canon of saccharine music for this age group. The music reminded us of children's media, and it reminded me of the new School House Rock sound.

A Wonderful Way to Learn
When Eric Everett asked me to write a letter of reference for him I was thrilled, as this act allowed me to give a little back to a person who has given so much himself.
Eric is a grade A performer – not only is he a talented musician but, perhaps more importantly, he has the gift of performance. What I mean by this is his ability to read a crowd as he puts on a show so he can make any necessary adjustments needed to maximize the pleasure of the audience and the message that he conveys. I’m guessing that his unique gift is derived from the time he has spent as a teacher.
My own children absolutely adore his performance of Triple E. They know practically every word of his CD. He involves kids so they are having fun, but they are still listening. The message does not get lost. He offers a wonderful way to learn.

You Did an Amazing Job Keeping the Children Engaged
The party was great. It was developmentally appropriate and a great way to kick-off our Amazing Animals expedition. You did an amazing job keeping the children engaged, under control and moving!!! Thank you! Thanks again!!

We Absolutely Loved Your Show
We absolutely loved your show and our son, Matt, has been talking about you non-stop. I have caught him frequently over the past two weeks singing, “Animal Party” to himself while he’s been playing and we have your flier posted on our refrigerator that he reads every day to his sister. He is an official groupie!

Russell Still Talks About His Animal Party
To this date, Russell still talks about his animal party and your CD is among his favorites – if not his favorite. You made his birthday such a memorable one just by your entertainment alone!!!! He asks about you weekly – we might have to secure you for next year as well!!

Standing-Room Only
Eric Everett’s Animal Party got all the children dancing at our public library branch while they learned about global ecology. His popular children’s show was a high-energy, high-participation program geared especially for our wiggly little ones.
There was standing-room only as our all-ages audience of 109 people were on their feet, making animal calls, absorbed in Eric’s imaginative combination of music, education, and storytelling. We look forward to hosting his program again in the future!

A Very Talented Performer
We had a blast at the party, thank you for making it so memorable. Dylan had a great time!!! The parents of the other children thought that it was a great idea to have you and I am so glad that we extended your time to continue the party for the adults!
Every one really enjoyed themselves and came up to me afterwards and complimented you. I think that you are a very talented performer and it isn’t easy being able to perform for both kids and adults… you do it well! I look forward to having you again.

Kids Really Enjoyed Singing and Dancing to His Music
We have used Eric for several of our mall events. This year we had an animal themed event and Eric's Animal Party Show was perfect. The kids really enjoyed singing and dancing to his music. Eric was a pleasure to work with. He always responded immediately to our questions and was always very professional. We will definitely use him again.

Absolutely Terrific!
Thank you for performing at our recent Hats for Hope fundraiser. It was absolutely terrific! The kids loved it and you were fabulous.
I have great pictures of you singing, the kids dancing, and everyone doing the limbo. Again, we really appreciated your efforts in helping us raise over $500- enough to open our fifth hat collection at New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. We hope we can work with you again in the future.

A Real Pleasure to Work With You…
Thank you so much for making SoundWaters Conservation Day such a success! We had over 1000 people come throughout the day and all the feedback has been great.
Everyone had such wonderful things to say about your animal show, the kids were having so much fun, it really added such a great element to the day. It was a real pleasure to work with you and I hope we can do another event in the future together.

Interactive and Educational
Eric, you were fabulous! The children in our program were continuously entertained. They loved the songs. Not only were they interactive and educational, they had a catchy beat that was very engaging. The children especially enjoyed moving around and acting like animals. Thanks so much.

Perfect Combination of Entertainment and Education!
Recently my students and I had the privilege of attending a fantastic performance given by Eric E. Everett. Triple E, as he calls himself, entertained us with upbeat and catchy songs from his musical entitled ‘Animal Party’. My 3rd graders (and the 2nd, 4th and 5th graders also in attendance ) were completely enthralled by this show. Since this was our last day of school before Christmas break, keeping 180 children focused was no easy feat. However, Eric did just that with great finesse.
In addition to the lively songs (many of which involved audience participation) the children were provided with with excellent messages about taking care of animals and caring for the environment in general. What a perfect combination of entertainment and education! A class act!

The Party Was Awesome
The party was awesome – thank you for doing such a great job. Eli had a blast and I think the other kids had fun too.

The Teachers Thought It Was Great
I just wanted to let you know that your show at Nature’s Nursery yesterday was a HUGE success. When I picked up my son, everyone was very excited! The teachers thought it was great. My son was so cute on the way home. He was telling me every detail of the songs, your guitar, etc., etc. Finally he said, “Wow, I’ll have a lot to talk about after I eat my dinner tonight!” (we “talk about our day” after eating).
Bryce was so excited that you sang the songs on “his tape”. Well, anyway, thanks so much for doing this and for supporting the PTO of MHHS! I want my older daughter to look into one of your Mystery Parties for her 11th birthday in December … sounds SO cool.
Darlene A. Brewster, NY
Kids Enjoyed Your Show Thoroughly
The kids enjoyed your show thoroughly and had a great time! We received many favorable comments from parents, and we will definitely bring you back to JV Mall again! Thanks for everything!

A Memorable Reception!
What an absolutely phenomenal reception Eric provided us with at the Kanuga Conference Center. Eric was the first one to congratulate us before we even selected him...he reached out, listened to our needs and wants and helped us thru much of our planning. We had no idea what we were doing, we knew there would be some challenges in bringing such a diverse crowd together in an atmosphere of love, celebration, delight, dancing and games. In the offerings, Eric knew of the balance needed to create the perfect environment and he made it happen in such a grand manner....Everyone had a memorable evening! Eric, you went over and beyond our expectations!

A Fantastic Game Show
A fantastic event!
Eric was a fantastic host and made our night so much fun. He was very communicative leading up to the event and very flexible. He did a great job of keeping everyone engaged and included and we learned a lot! Would 100% recommend for your event.Megan Burch Asheville NC
Greatest Recess Proctor I Have Ever Seen
He was the greatest recess proctor I have ever seen. Instead of sitting on the bench with the other teachers, Eric would become part of the fun - not in a directive manner as teachers often do but as an organic part of the free and unstructured play as imagined by the students.
Jon R. Teacher, Rye Country Day School
Eric Was a Huge Hit
Eric was a huge hit at our Woodstock themed 9th Birthday Party. Not only did he engage the kids with fun and games he covered all the basics and more within our 60′s requests. He was awesome! He was delightful!

The Best Day of His Life!

Best Part Of The Block Party
Eric – I think you did a great job! I asked my kids and they said “it was awesome, best part of the block party!” Not bad coming from a 6 and 8 year old! I think the parents were thrilled too, because it kept the kids occupied!
Susan C. Fairfield, CT

Mystery / Spy
One That She Will Never Forget
Eric was a great entertainer and all those who attended my daughters party were buzzing at school about how much fun the murder mystery was. It kept their minds busy and held their attention, while frustrating them at the same time. Thanks again Eric for a wonderful experience and for helping make my daughters 16th birthday party one that she will never forget.

I just want to thank you again for doing such a great job! I truly appreciate that you created your own stories, how you created it around the restaurant and how you got all the little kids involved. The kids just had a wonderful time. Thank you so much really helping make such a special day for all of us.

You Engaged The Kids
Thank you for organizing a great event at very short notice. It all worked out perfectly. We were really impressed by the imagination you put into planning the activities, the skillful way you engaged the kids and maintained their enthusiasm, and your excellent good humor and professionalism throughout — including your gracious charm in joining us for birthday pizza and cake.
Our only regret is that we have to wait a year for the next birthday and another opportunity to explore your repertoire of wonderful party ideas.

Kids DJ
80s/90s Dance Party Delight!
"I am so happy that I choose Zowie Entertainment to DJ my 50th birthday party. The theme was an 80s/90s Dance Party. Eric compiled a high-energy, fun playlist that kept all our guests dancing and singing for hours! The "1972 Crew" would recommend Eric for any event. He knows how to throw a great party! Plus he is so easy to work with. He is responsive and accommodating. You can't go wrong with Zowie Entertainment."
Heather Brevard, NC
He is great at working the crowd!
Eric is absolutely fantastic! I've been fortunate to book him for several family-focused events at my work and he has been a joy to work with. The kids really respond well to him and he is great at working the crowd! You won't be disappointed!

The Girls Had a Wonderful Time
Just wanted to brag a little on Mr. Eric at Asheville Party. He handled a group of excited 8 year old girls great and kept them entertained the whole time. The girls had a wonderful time, so much in fact that, a couple of them want to "have a party just like it!”
Heather P. Hendersonville, NC

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We did indeed get the DVD’s today, and are thrilled with the end product. The movie turned out so great that both the birthday girl and her brother have watched them over and over again.
Your creativity, warmth and sense of fun truly made the party one that all the kids enjoyed – I overheard one of the kids thanking my daughter for having been born and making the party possible! You provide something very special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you HIGHLY to everyone I know. I am sure we’ll see you again – my son is already plotting his next birthday party! 😉

A Wonderful Experience!
Wow! What a great time we had at our Annual Retreat with Eric singing, playing guitar, getting the young and not so young to do karaoke and dance. Eric was patient with the children who “made joyful noises” singing their hearts out and with the oldies but goodies crowd as well. We are going to ask him to do it again next year! It was a wonderful experience! Thanks Asheville Party!!!!!
