Hi, welcome to my website. My name is Istvan. I’m a musician who mostly plays for kids and their families. I was inspired by my daughter. Alot. I like the guitar. I like recording. I’m always working to make cool cleverly crafted songs the whole family will love. Oh dogs, whales, spiders and even possums are things I like too. I think learning stuff and having fun can happen at the same time. Do you want to have fun? If you do then I like that to.
Take a look around at the things I’ve got available for you. I’ve got live concerts coming up, and cool new singles being released and definitely listen to my podcast. It’s available pretty much anywhere podcasts are heard. It might be my favorite thing. I made it specifically for the whole family to listen to on car rides, or rainy days or whenever you need a laugh or a fun way to learn. Thanks for stopping by.

My Website Updates
On the last few episodes of my podcast I’ve been announcing improvements were in the works for my website. I’m glad to say that many of them are already in place. Just scroll and click thru the site to see all the cool new elements and changes. And just so you know, the video page is where most of the big stuff is going to happen so I wanted to re-post the (improved) first installment of my “Marmo Puppet Theater” webisodes.
These sweet little scenarios are meant for everyone, but I’m hoping teachers and librarians and anyone else who deals with groups of kids can use them as a fun and special springboard to handle or discuss behavioral challenges. You can also just sit back and take a break to enjoy the cute and innocent world the Marmos live in.

Help Make Music
Guys, I’m really glad you’re visiting my web site. I’ve been rethinking how I share my social media content and have decided to post a ton of cool new stuff here exclusively. Instead of trapping people in a subscription or pay to view I’m simply encouraging my peeps to make a donation via my Venmo or Paypal.
When people leave tips at shows it not only helps me make my new music, etc. but it shows me that they really enjoyed my concert and had a great time. So please consider making my day and leaving a little something in my tip jar and know how much it helps and means to me. Just hit the button below to find my Venmo or search @istvansongs via your app.
Thanks!
I ❤️ Libraries
Not that long ago I performed at the Geneva Library. I was blown away by the space and Tom, the awesome youth program director, reminded me of the added possibilities when playing inside the library.
If anyone is hosting indoor programs, or planning on doing so in the near future, please contact me to discuss a really fun and cool addition to the concerts I perform. With a tiny bit of extra effort we can make a truly interactive experience that will enhance the fun and depth of the show that I try to bring to every place I play.
And for any branches beyond the greater Chicagoland area please consider presenting my virtual concert to your families. It’s a really great hybrid video that combines my web series and live concert and communicates directly to the kids and encourages clever participation as well as entertains.
The virtual concert is a perfect way to test the waters and hopefully pave the way to me coming to perform in person at your branch and hopefully other branches in your area.
I love my experience with libraries and am always excited and proud to be one of the wonderful events being offered. So please email me at: istvansongs@gmail.com and I’ll quickly tell you more.
my Virtual Show Trailor!
Take a quick look at my fun and truly interactive virtual show. Please contact me at istvansongs@gmail.com if you’d like to present the 25 minute program to your groups.
