Music Minute - Laurie Berkner: Victor Vito


 Let’s go swimming, stomp around in our favorite BOOTS, and eat a burrito with Victor Vito and Freddy Vasco! Kids’ music legend Laurie Berkner celebrates 25 years of her timeless, classic album, Victor Vito, with a fully remastered, 25th anniversary special edition for the whole family to enjoy. Victor Vito will be released on the KIDZ BOP label on all streaming platforms, on CD, and on vinyl on Friday, June 7, 2024.

 

Kids and grownups alike can sing along to all-time favorites like “The Goldfish,” “Victor Vito,” “Boots,” “Moon Moon Moon,” “Fruit Salad Salsa,” and so many more.

 

“By the time I released Victor Vito, I was finally starting to have faith that I could write songs that kids would like,” says Laurie Berkner. “It's hard to explain just how good it feels to know that those songs I wrote 25 years ago (to help manage my classroom and my own feelings) are still relevant today and continue to bring joy to the kids and families who hear them."
