“SleepyBye Lullabies” is a collection of soothing instrumental melodies composed by Nashville songwriters Mark Barnowski and Corey Lee Barker.  Each song unfolds in perfect cadence and sonic tones that help calm and prepare little ones for nap time, feeding time or bed time.  “SleepyBye Lullabies” truly offers musical memories for the whole family.

Mark and Corey have also included an extra special song written for mothers everywhere.  “Sweet Lullaby (#10) features the endearing voice of a mother singing to her precious new born. The track that follows gives moms a chance to hum or sing-a-long too and create magical comforting moments with their child.
