LAURIE BERKNER IS ON TOUR!
Solo Dates And Laurie Berkner Band Concerts Continue In 2013
“The undisputed queen of kindie rock.” – USA Today
"Laurie Berkner is bigger than Justin Bieber, if you happen to be 4 or 5."
- The New York Times
Children’s music superstar and preschool television favorite Laurie Berkner is scheduled to perform in both solo and Laurie Berkner Band concerts this fall.
Laurie has been performing in a successful series of solo concerts entitled “The You & Me Tour.” Says Laurie, "I'm feeling the need to go back to my roots a bit and get back in touch with what it was like to play just myself with my guitar to a room full of kids. I know that sometimes the youngest kids connect to songs with hand movements, but I tend not to do those simpler songs and a cappella songs with the band. This gives me a space to sing those songs as well."
A former preschool music teacher by day and indie rocker by night, Laurie Berkner started selling her music over ten years ago out of her living room on her own label, Two Tomatoes Records. The Laurie Berkner Band has received tremendous critical acclaim. 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.”
The Laurie Berkner Band features: Laurie Berkner, vocals/guitar; Susie Lampert, keyboards; Brady Rymer, bass; and Bobby Golden, drums/percussion.
