Sadly, not a response from Dan Zanes, been 2 weeks since I emailed him.
Gonna try contacting one of the band members, Barbara Brousal, the person who wrote the Malti song and is in some of the music videos, I'll contact her later with the email that's on her website.
Do you know where you got this info? I may try digging for more people who were a part of the music writing/in the videos
I found it under the WorldCat article for the DVD, there's some people under performers, so might be a lead since none of our contacts have replied yet.

That is true. I'll go looking there

None of my contacts have gotten back to me. Does anyone know where we can take the search from here? I don't have many ideas other than branching out to other channel broadcasts of Dan Zanes, but that would require a new thread

It's been a while, I've been caught up with school and life and all that jazz. Quick Update on the contacts PikaFusion, I sadly haven't heard back from my contacts and I don't think they'll reply anytime soon. I rewatched that video posted by Father Goose and noted some things.
- The card at the beginning states that the video "Down in the Valley" is labelled with the number 004. We can assume this means that it is Episode 4 of Dan Zanes House Party. The Google infobox states that "Down in the valley" was the third episode which means that there is a possibility that there is an episode of Dan Zane's House Party that aired before Down in the Valley.
- Edgeworx Studios which was mentioned earlier in this forum may be a lead. I'm not too certain about it but it's pretty weird. This website claims Edgeworx Studios was founded in 2015 while Edgeworx's website has work that dates back to 2011. On LinkedIn there's someone that worked at Edgeworx Studios in 2010 to 2012 as Freelance Colorist. Scratch that, I found a website with records of the Edgeworx Productions that made the Dan Zane's House Party video. They dissolved in 2011 while Edgeworx Studios was founded in 2009. In short I don't think there's a way to contact the production company as it doesn't exist any more.
I have found a contact lead however. I found the LinkedIn account of a person who was an Executive Officer at Edgeworx Productions who happens to live in NY (where both Edgeworx Studios and Productions are based) and has worked at a company named "Edgeworx" since 1994. I think both Edgeworx Studios and Productions were like branches of Edgeworx which is in of itself a VFX and post-production company. I will make an effort to contact them and ask about Dan Zane's House Party.
Quick Update, I went to an archive of Edgeworx's website and this confirms that Edgeworx was the one that created the video as it uses the same logo in the Father Goose video
jackdebug Thanks for the update! None of my contacts have gotten back to me as well. The Edgeworx situation is interesting. Do we have any evidence that the E. Studios and Productions are the same/connected?

The fact that the official Edgeworx website uses the same logo in the Father Goose video which also mentions Edgeworx Productions is enough to connect them. There's also the fact that both companies were established in New York City, existed at the same time and share the same name that indicates they could be connected. I have contacted the company Edgeworx Studios to ask them about their connection to Edgeworx Productions and Edgeworx and if they had any info on old projects. I'll make an update if I receive a response. In the meantime I am trying to contact and old employee of Edgeworx who may know more about Dan Zane's House Party.
I'm back everyone, just needed to focus on some life stuff but I am all caught up. I looked up Edgeworx on Google Maps and found Edgewox Studios LLC in Kingston, NY so it is possible they moved locations. It is 721 Broadway, Kingston, NY 12401. I actually found another one in NYC on Varick Street instead of Hudson Street. 137 Varick St, New York, NY 10013. This may or may not help but this confirms Edgeworx Studios is legit and in business.

We have tried contacting many people with not much success or no reply at all (including Dan Zanes himself). Right now, none of our contacts have replied, so we are hunting for leads, one of those currently being Edgeworxs, which was a part of the production team as a company.
Anyone else is free to chip in if I missed something, I just covered the basics

Thanks for bringing me up to speed! I remeber watching this show when I was a kid, so I got some skin in this game now. I'll start digging myself.
Hey guys, idk if you guys are still on the search for this, but I have some info that I'm sure will be useful to you.
"House Party" debuted in 2006 and re-ran until 2008, as far i know and also from what I could research, they were only interstitials and not a half hour long.
The All Around The Kitchen dvd i have DOES NOT feature anything that was used for Playhouse Disney, it only features the Noggin videos and the Sesame Street video they did and their December 2004 concert footage.
Although they did say they were developing a half hour long show for Dan in that 2005 article, there is a chance they canned that idea and just shot interstitials or shortened up the original 30 minutes of the episodes.
I've messaged Dan before and he actually replied to my response on Instagram. So if you want to reach him, Instagram may be your best bet.

Hey thanks for the new info! Was your message to Dan about the search or something else? If it was the former, what was the new info?

The first concert I ever went to was actually a Dan Zanes concert, it was a Christmas stage show at some theater in Times Square. Funnily enough, his house at the time, which was where the show was filmed, was literally right around the corner from where my grandparents lived. I remember begging them to take me over to Dan Zanes's house to see him since he lived so close by. My mom actually claims to have spotted him walking around our neighborhood a couple times. Sadly he got priced out of NYC a few years back and now he's living with his wife in Baltimore.
I know someone who's actually Facebook friends with Dan Zanes, maybe he could help. Perhaps Dan Zanes himself might have the episodes stored on his computer or something, but knowing Disney I doubt it.
Edit: I just contacted my friend and he says that he may have a copy of one of the episodes. He also says that he'll try contacting Mr. Zanes himself as well.
