What’s New?

Jim “Mr. Stinky Feet” Cosgrove is celebrating 25 years of bringing families together through music with a NEW CD – Scoops of Love, which includes all new songs! Fans can stream the music on every platform available starting May 29th. We will have physical CDs for sale exclusively at live concerts and through our online store.

“Scoops of Love” is loaded with songs about people and things we love – puppies, chocolate, ice cream, heroes, and each other. And each song is a scoop of love to my family, friends, and fans! You may hear hints of (or musical winks to) The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Parliament, and KISS, but the songs are all quintessential Mr. Stinky Feet.” (Jim Cosgrove)

Musician & Author

Cosgrove’s nine family albums have earned critical acclaim and an impressive collection of national parenting awards, including eight Parents’ Choice Awards. Now families can Read-Along & Sing-Along with Mr. Stinky Feet in THREE children’s books based on his beloved songs, Bop Bop Dinosaur, Hark! It’s Harold the Angel, and Sullen Sally.  

Jim Cosgrove has books for grown-up fans too. His first self-published book, Everybody Gets Stinky Feet is a collection of essays written from his years as a parenting columnist for The Kansas City Star.  His talents continue into the true-crime genre as well.

 “Jim Cosgrove has captured the hearts and minds of kids and parents all across the country. Kansas City is lucky to call him one of our own.” — Sly James, former Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri

In 2021, his music was streamed more than 2.6 million times on Spotify alone, and his YouTube channel has more than 2.3 million views.

When he isn’t singing or writing for children and families, Cosgrove shares inspiring messages with adult audiences, reminding them that taking a child-like (not childish) approach to life enhances the wonder of Now. He lives near Kansas City with his wife, their two daughters, and a handsome rescued mutt named, Dobby.
