Whillo Update: Scout, Wynston Lyles, Music Production and more!

Published 11 months ago • 2 min read

Hello all!

June is here, and with it are some great new Whillo releases; the first book of the Scout series (coming to Whillo June 15), a beautiful album of violin music by Annette Jumelet, another Psalter Singalong album by Wynston Lyles, a collection of Whillo exclusive piano/cello Psalters, more Mattaniah and Hosanna albums, and much more.

We've also added a page to the Whillo website for musicians, narrators etc. that are looking to "level up" their audio production or interested in producing an album. More details on this below.

June 1 is also the first "birthday" of Whillo, and we are doing a giveaway to several of our subscribers later this month. Details on this later in the email...

Now for some of the content that we've added for June:

AUDIOBOOKS

Scout comes to Whillo! We are very excited to add "Scout: Secret of the Swamp" to our Whillo audiobook collection. Narrated by Craig Roberts and produced by the Whillo team, this tale of the adventures of Tom and his loyal German Shepherd has been a very popular story with young readers since its release many years ago. This first audiobook in the Scout series will be released mid-month on June 15.

We've also added an additional Dave & Neta Jackson book to the Trailblazer collection, another book in the Goldown Beginnings series, and two more books in the Circle C Adventures Series by Susan Marlow. We've also added another Thornton Burgess Book "Old Granny Fox", narrated by Jacqueline Oudshoorn.

MUSIC

We've added additional albums by the Hosanna and Mattaniah choirs, albums by musicians Arjan Huizer and Hugo van der Meij, a Psalter Singalong album by Wynston Lyles, two more "Eiland Urk" Dutch choir albums, an acapella hymns album by the Sharon Singers, a brand new Whillo album of piano and cello Psalters, and an album of beautiful violin music by Annette Jumelet.

If this does not solve it please contact us at support@whillo.com so we can look into this further.
