Laurie Berkner
The popular “Queen of Kindie Rock,” returns to the area with her Greatest Hits Solo tour. A true pioneer in children’s music, beloved by kids and parents for over 20 years, Berkner gets everyone into her groove with this hit parade of her popular songs. Of course, she’ll perform her much-loved hits, notably “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” “Victor Vito,” “We Are The Dinosaurs,” and “Pig on Her Head.” She’ll also do other songs like “Bicycle,” “Bubbles,” and “I’ve Got So Much To Give,” from her recent album “Superhero.” Berkner’s many favorites include an array of tunes that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up and dance. Kids should plan to bring their “dancing shoes” and a stuffed animal (for their heads).
