Best-selling and award-winning children’s musician Laurie Berkner has been a longtime fixture on TV’s Nick Jr., Sprout, and NBCUniversal Kids channels.
Her original songs, 12 albums, DVDs, music videos, and books leave no doubt: Berkner is the uncrowned queen of children’s music and the power behind the progressive “kindie rock” movement.
What sets her apart? Her music speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups. Berkner finds inspiration in her audience.
“I want to create songs that matter for children,” she says. “I was singing once and saw a four-year-old girl shut her eyes and start swaying to the music. I thought, ‘That’s the reason I got into music.’ It keeps me wanting to do more.”
Berkner’s Greatest Hits solo show features popular hits like “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” “Victor Vito,” “We are the Dinosaurs,” “Pig on her Head,” and “Rocketship Run,” plus — as a special treat for fans — a few well-loved Berkner songs that are not often heard at her concerts.
Laurie Berkner Live! The Greatest Hits Solo Tour will take place at The Paramount on Sunday, Jan. 27 at 3 p.m.
The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington. To purchase tickets, go to www.paramountny.com.
