ISLAND HEIGHTS, N.J. - Suburban dad of four and front man of the band "Yosi and the Superdads," Yosef Levin has released the new kids' CD "What's Eatin' Yosi?" this summer from Yosi Music here. Yosi uses a range of cuisines and musical themes to take kids and their families on an exploration of food and eating. In mini-rock-opera "Schlurpknopf," Yosi even tells what young aliens eat. The CD is being promoted through free online song samples, a radio campaign that enables children to email requests for Yosi's songs to national kids' radio shows, and a series of tour dates for "Yosi and the Superdads" that will run though October.
