The Bazillions are the creation of Twin Cities’ parents/educators/singer-songwriters Adam and Kristin Marshall. Literally from their first day on the job at Kenny School in Minneapolis, the couple was writing songs for and with their students.

Before long, the kids knew every word to every song, and parents began asking for a CD. So, the Marshalls recorded and released “Rock-n-Roll Recess,” under the band name “The Bazillions.”

See them in action on The Bazillions' YouTube Channel.
