KIDROCKERS brings some of the most engaging and vital artists in indie music and comedy to kids and their parents. Artists perform original (not specifically made for children) songs in a manner that is both authentic and kid-friendly. âWe love to hear great new music -- and so do our kids.â says KIDROCKERS founder Beth Rockers. âWe want to create an opportunity for kids and parents to discover artists and get to see them play live in a fun, safe and authentic environment.â Past bands include Locksley, Chris Barron, LEVY, The Undisputed Heavyweights, Looker and Reggie Watts.
CHRIS BARRON sings for the Grammy nominated Spin Doctors, has graced the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, wrote two top five songs (âLittle Miss Canât Be Wrongâ and âTwo Princesâ), played arenas throughout the world and appeared on Sesame Street. The just released âPancho and the Kidâ showcases Chrisâs instantly recognizable voice and includes some of the best songs that Chris has written and recorded. Heâs one of the most sincere and humble rock stars and a great dad too.
Justin and Christian met at Harvard and lived on BISHOP ALLEN Drive. Rolling Stone Magazine gave the bandâs debut album âCharm Schoolâ four stars. (âthe band's carefree attitude, along with their musicianship, make Charm School as addictive as it is playful.â) NPR calls their music "vibrant, vivid and refreshingly different." In 2006, the band put out twelve EPs â one per month. In July 2007, the band releases its debut record for the Dead Oceans label.
Comic-actor SETH HERZOG hosts each of the 75 minute shows. Sethâs long running weekly show âSweetâ is a staple of the downtown alternative comedy scene and he appears regularly on VH1 and Comedy Central.
Tickets are $14 per person (advance purchase recommended) or at the door. ALL AGES. Adults must be accompanied by a child and vice versa. For more information email bethrockers@aol.com.
