AUSTIN, TX, April 02, 2024 - The Paradiddles proudly announce the release of their debut musical concept album, "The Absent-Minded Pirate," a big-screen-musical-theater-inspired adventure for kids and kids-at-heart.
This "British-Invasion-meets-Broadway-Musical adventure is a swashbuckling ride the whole family can enjoy," says Billy Lucas, The Paradiddles' creator and primary composer, instrumentalist, and vocalist.
"The Absent-Minded Pirate" tells the story of four strangers on a hunt for a forgetful pirate's buried treasure. Seeking adventure and the promise of untold riches, they gather their instruments -- and their courage -- to embark on a journey fraught with danger and mystery. Along the way, they encounter mythical creatures, overcome ghostly obstacles, and forge friendships that just might last a lifetime. That is … if they survive the trek.
Grammy and Emmy Award-winning engineer and producer Cynthia Daniels (The Producers [Original Broadway Cast Recording]) who mixed and mastered the release says the project "brought me right back to that place where I spent days behind the console with an orchestra for countless Broadway and off-Broadway shows."
With their debut release, The Paradiddles bring to life a complete story told through memorable pop/rock songs, fully orchestrated sound effects, dialogue, and scene transitions – allowing the listener to "envision the story playing out on the big screen or a Broadway stage," says Lucas. All the while exploring the universal concepts of love, selflessness, and the need for connection.
"It's a Broadway show, it's a stream, it's a movie, it's a soundtrack" continues Daniels, "The songs are sublime, and the orchestration and sounds are complex and perfectly arranged."
Now available on all major streaming platforms, "The Absent-Minded Pirate" invites listeners to join The Paradiddles on a musical adventure unlike any other.
