Our album “THUMB WRESTLING CHAMPIONS” has been out for almost a year now, so we were pleasantly surprised to find that the School Library Journal had recently reviewed it! The reviewer, Beverly Wrigglesworth, called it a “funny album that will have listeners rolling on the floor laughing!”….we agree (if we do say so ourselves)!!

MRJEFF2000 Reviews THUMB WRESTLING CHAMPIONS!
Thank you so much to MRJEFF2000 for his fun review of "THUMB WRESTLING CHAMPIONS!!
"The family band concept has existed forever. Most recently, the Oot 'n Oots feature four brothers and one of their daughters. Keeping in the sibling spirit is the brother and sister team The Green Orbs. Eddie RosenBerg III and Heather Hirshfield first decided to collaborate musically in 2015 for the YouTube Audio Library. Three years (and 50 songs) later, the duo have released their debut CD, THUMB WRESTLING CHAMPIONS.
While every family has their resident goofball, the Green Orbs divide the wackiness evenly. That way, Eddie can sing "Soup is the best food in the world" and Heather can belt the '60s Romper Room meets Shindig! romp, "The Suction Cup Shuffle.""

Rock Mommy interviews Heather!!!
Heather was recently interviewed for the blog Rock Mommy about our new album Thumb Wrestling Champions, and what it is like to be a rocking' mom! Here's a portion of the interview:
Rockmommy: I read a bit about how you and your brother got started — can you tell me about how your latest collection of songs came about? Was there an inspiring idea/theme?
Heather Hirshfield: Our new album “Thumb Wrestling Champions” is the end result after many, many years of work. We were just writing different fun songs over the years, until we realized we had enough for an album! There is no overarching theme, but many of the songs were inspired by my girls, either through stories that I told them when they were little, or by something that they may have said.
