Lullaby House Music, a new music company based in Whitefish, has released its debut album, “You Are Loved” for Seeds Family Worship, the popular Christian kids’ music entity.

The first album is a mix of original lullaby songs and a few hand-selected cover songs such as the 2020 hit, "The Blessing."

Lullaby House Music is a collective of songwriters, singers, musicians, engineers and bloggers.

“Lullaby House Music is a fresh, modern approach to lullabies that celebrates life, love and family," said Jason Houser founder of Seeds Family Worship. "We hope it is more than just great music, we believe it is that music that calms the soul especially for parents who have welcomed babies home during this year's pandemic, they need to be reminded of this hope.”
