The Pop Ups are fresh from their GRAMMY nomination for Best Album for Children last year and have no sign of slowing down. Their infectious live show will have kids (and the adults that brought them) smiling and shaking along by the end of the set! http://thepopups.com/ ~~ Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights Gifted with a soulful, rock solid voice and an instinctive knack for capturing the essence of any style she goes for, Joanie Leeds has delivered, with each new release, music that speaks to kids in a friendly, non-patronizing way and is imbued with artistic values that thrill admiring adults. And during a Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights concert kids will be dancing, clapping and singing along to her original tunes ranging in styles from indie & classic rock to hip-hop, from folk to jazz, to R&B. With content heartfelt & witty, parents may be fooled into thinking this family music is just for them. http://www.joanieleeds.com/ ~~ The Not Its! For more than six years now, The Not-Its! have rocked kids and families with their up-tempo albums and live concerts that give children their first "rock show" experience. With the release of their fifth album, Raise Your Hand, this Seattle "Kindie Rock" quintet will have children and their parents on their feet Raising Their Hands for more from the moment they hit the dance floor! They are Sarah Shannon (former singer Sub Pop band Velocity Girl), Danny Adamson (rhythm guitar), Tom Baisden (lead guitar), Jennie Helman (bass player) and Michael Welke (former drummer of Harvey Danger). As parents, they add 10 children to the crowd, ranging in ages 3-11. Since 2008 they have been poised to keep their families and yours dancing along at their live shows as well as to their recorded albums, and with their much anticipated fifth album, Raise Your Hand, it is clear they have no intention of slowing down! http://www.wearethenot-its.com/
