About Us
Outta the Books is an innovative multi-platform family entertainment project created by Brian Banks and produced by StorySongs Productions. Developed by Banks’ desire to create an ambitious musical re-imagining of our favorite fairy tales, it is an original and enchanting journey into the Land of Once Upon a time.
Banks, an award winning composer and producer, was inspired by the timeless nature of fairy tales. Handed down through the generations, they have survived because their themes are universal. He has created “Outta the Books” to retell these stories in a truly unique, fun, modern way, recounting each much loved fairy tale in a series of four minute song – StorySongs.
Starting off with tales from the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and Aesop, the band will continue to travel the world over, bringing you StorySongs from every culture. These are stories that can help us answer basic human questions - What is right? What is fair? How can I be a good person? Why do I feel like this today? Drawing on time-honored themes with a modern twist, “Outta the Books” offers something for everyone, young and old alike.
Now there is a whole new way to share, and remember, the fairytales you grew up with. “Outta the Books” harnesses the power of music, the most universal of communicators, to tell simple, meaningful tales, one StorySong at a time.
