April Eight Creates Magic

April Eight delighted our audience at Second Sunday Family Showtime here at CCAC. April’s beautiful voice and whimsical, thoughtful lyrics captured children and adults alike, and her participatory songs had the whole audience singing, clapping, stomping, and roaring along!

“April [Eight] is a delight! She recently performed for our Little Sounds of Deerfield Series and how sweet it was to see all of the kids on their feet, singing, dancing, and thoroughly enjoy their experience! April brings a unique experience through her performance. She’s calm, kind, funny, and so entertaining.”

"The Bay View Association hired April Mann to coordinate the artistic component of our community-wide woods walk in 2023. One key aspect of her work was to guide children in building fairy houses for display along the woods trail. April was extremely professional, responsive, and adaptable. Her creative vision was truly inspired. Working with April was a real joy!”
Julia Healy, Education Director, Bay View Association, Bay View, Michigan
