Legendary children's musician Laurie Berkner will return to the Twin Cities, bringing her “Greatest Hits” solo concert to area families at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 28 at Como Regional Park Midway Pavilion, 1199 Midway Parkway, St. Paul, Minnesota.
This performance is part of the Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota’s annual Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk, a community celebration to honor those with Down Syndrome and raise awareness and funds for DSAMn.
"I’m thrilled to be coming back to St. Paul to once again help kick off Down Syndrome Awareness Month with my outdoor concert as part of this amazing walk and community event," says Laurie Berkner. "Last year was a total blast, and I can’t wait to march like dinosaurs as we ‘Step Up for Down Syndrome’ together!”
A true pioneer in children's music, providing a soundtrack to childhood and memories that last a lifetime, Laurie Berkner will perform songs from a career spanning more than 25 years, including such well-loved hits as "Victor Vito," "Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)," "Pig On Her Head," "We Are The Dinosaurs," "Rocketship Run," "The Goldfish (Let's Go Swimming)," and more recent fan favorites like "Superhero," "Waiting for the Elevator," “My Bunny Goes Hop,” and "Chipmunk at the Gas Pump."
At her St. Paul show, in addition to familiar hits, Laurie will play songs that are featured on both of her tonies®, along with catchy new singles like “Walking With The Penguins” and “Everyone’s Demanding Bananas.” Laurie's concerts showcase 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).
