Spring is in the air, and that means Easter and Passover will soon be here! Legendary children's musician Laurie Berkner invites everyone to celebrate the springtime holidays at two special "Springtime Party" LIVE Virtual Family Concerts on Sunday, March 28 at 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Laurie's concert website: HERE. For double the fun, a family ticket grants admission to one or both livestreams. "We have so much to celebrate at my Springtime Virtual Family Concert!" says Laurie Berkner. "Easter, Passover, and the release of my new album, Let's Go!, will all be happening! I can't wait to spend the day making music about spring – and all of these exciting events – together with kids and families!" The Laurie Berkner Band's bass player, Brady Rymer, will be a special guest at this show, and other band members will also pop by. Laurie hopes everyone will join in the frolicsome springtime spirit and sing and dance along. Laurie Berkner's virtual family concerts are full-length, visually-enriched experiences, so kids might see images of Victor and Freddie during "Victor Vito" or flying bees during "Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)." Interactivity will be the order of the day, with a special springtime treasure hunt and chances for kids to share their thoughts in a live chat. Laurie will perform songs of the season, like "One Seed," "Umbrella," and "12 Months," along with songs from Laurie's new album, Let's Go!, including "Let's Go!," "I Saw a Butterfly," "Jumping Jack," "When It's Cold," "The Superhero Mask Song," and "The Superhero Handwashing Song." Of course, Laurie will be sure to include plenty of her greatest hits, including "We Are The Dinosaurs," "Victor Vito," "Pig On Her Head," "The Goldfish (Let's Go Swimming)," and more. Laurie encourages viewers to decorate their homes for spring and put on something flowery and fun, or maybe something fancy that they might wear to celebrate Easter or Passover. "Since spring is the season of rebirth, it's a great time to try new things," says Laurie Berkner. "Why not cut out and decorate flowers to use during the show, or choose an instrument like a shaky egg or tambourine to play along with the music? It's fun to pick out a stuffed animal to 'wear' during my 'Pig On Her Head' song. And of course, having some special springtime snacks on hand would be great, too! We'll post ideas on our website and social media to make it easy." A fun-filled virtual lobby will feature pre-show music and videos, springtime games (including an egg hunt!), and a flower-decorating activity. For those who'd like to spend a few minutes chatting one-on-one in a video call with Laurie after the show, special Meet-and-Greet tickets are available. One of the most popular children’s entertainers in the U.S., Laurie Berkner has filled countless venues nationwide with adoring fans. With an average of more than 12 million monthly streams and millions of albums, songs, and DVDs sold, Laurie’s songs have become beloved classics for children worldwide.

USA Today named Laurie "the undisputed queen of kindie rock." Time Magazine lauded Laurie as "a kind of sippy-cup Sheryl Crow ... Berkner inhabits a kid's curious perspective in her lyrics and pens folk-pop melodies that bear repeated -- very repeated -- listenings." The Wall Street Journal called Laurie "one of the most popular children's performers in America ... her music is distinctive because it speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups." NPR's All Things Considered declared, "Laurie Berkner is like a goddess to these children." # # # |
