Homescool is a father-daughter duo, with occasional guest performances by kids of other notable recording artists. Dan Epand is a multi-instrumentalist writer/producer/recording artist/director (also known for his membership in Nico Vega and TWWO), and Lennon is his 10-year old co-writer and front woman. During Covid/remote learning era, whenever Lennon would hit burnout on her classwork, the two of them would channel those big feels into writing and recording music together—thus the band name Homescool.

 

Homescool’s music is topically often kid-centric (covering everything from lost cats to Friday night plans to Zoom birthdays), but the music and production has an edge and aesthetic suitable for commercial radio. This isn’t your typical “kid’s music,” and parents and non-parents alike will find themselves listening with nary a kid in sight. (think kid Yeah Yeah Yeahs as opposed to Kidz Bop)
