The Queen of Kids’ Music Comes to San Diego
Legendary children’s musician Laurie Berkner will headline at the first Great Big Family Play Day to be held in San Diego. Laurie will perform a “Greatest Hits” solo concert at 11 a.m., Saturday, November 7 outdoors at the South Promenade at Liberty Station, 2850 Roosevelt Road, San Diego, CA.
Celebrating its 11th consecutive year, Great Big Family Play Day continues to stand out as one of the most anticipated family events on the West Coast. Often referred to as “Coachella for Kids,” this annual extravaganza offers new and unique experiences for families with kids of all ages to enjoy.
“I am thrilled to be participating in another Great Big Family Play Day — this time in San Diego!” says Laurie Berkner. “I love marching, jumping, and dancing with all the families who come to this incredible festival, and I’m very much looking forward to another special day filled with games, joy, and of course, music!”
A true pioneer in children’s music, providing a soundtrack to childhood and memories that last a lifetime, Laurie Berknerwill perform songs from a career spanning nearly 30 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,” and “Chipmunk at the Gas Pump,” along with catchy new singles like “Walking with the Penguins” and “Everyone’s Demanding Bananas” from Laurie’s new album, Walking With The Penguins. Plus – as a special treat for fans – a few well-loved Laurie Berkner songs that are not often heard at Laurie’s full-band concerts!
Laurie’s concerts showcase an array of tunes that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up and dance. As a special treat, professional dancer Michelle Esch will join Laurie onstage, enhancing the musical and visual experience by modeling movements that invite even more participation. Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads).
