AWARD WINNING DUO TEENY TINY STEVIES
ANNOUNCE EXCITING COLLABORATION WITH
THE NATIONAL LANDCARE NETWORK FOR THE GREEN ALBUM
OUT APRIL 22 – EARTH DAY
AND REVEAL TWICE THE LOVE NATIONAL TOUR DATES
ACTIVITY PACK AND DIGITAL ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW
NEW SINGLE ENERGY OUT NOW
Following the recent announcement of their much-anticipated fifth record, ‘The Green Album’ via ABC Music, ARIA and AIR Award-winning children’s act Teeny Tiny Stevies have today revealed details of their partnership with the National Landcare Network (NLN).
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. (Pre-order HERE).
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 hearts 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.
Byll explains, “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.”
“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 presale album! I hope we sell heaps! I’m excited to get my hands dirty with my band mates, friends and kids. I look forward to sharing this experience with my immediate community but also growing my community through this shared interest and outcome,” continued Beth.
“By joining a Landcare group, families are not only helping the environment but also creating memories that will last a lifetime. 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 now, commencing in Byron Bay on June 7, visiting Queensland, NSW, Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria, wrapping in mid-October. 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!
In a further taste of their forthcoming album, the new single ‘Energy’ is available now.
The track is one of 11 new songs that delves into both very specific and broad big picture areas of sustainability, and an appreciation for the natural world.
In preparation for writing the new single, the duo found themselves taking a crash course into the history of how humans came to collect and control energy for their own use with the resulting track expressing an important message, “take only what we need, leave it better than you found it, so we get good air to breathe, and land to grow, tomorrow”.
Byll and Beth explain, “I think in 2024 we are so used to our incredible conveniences that we’re often lacking a basic understanding of how we gather our resources. In big cities we’re often quite ‘separate’ from the growing process of our food or the areas where our water collects in catchments, for example. For new and interesting sustainable ideas to surface, it’s important to understand how we’ve got to this point, and to remember we’re part of nature, not separate from it.”
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. As Byll explains, “If lyrics are going to get stuck in kid’s heads, why not have them be useful?”
The Green Album 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).
