A little while back I took the kids to a "kids music concert." And I had a blast! The Kids are Alright was a benifit concert for one of Burlington's elementary schools which is an art themed magnet school. (meaning everything that they do/learn is explored through the lens of art, and everyone in the School District can send their kids there. While other public schools in town are location based enrollment) I know quite a few folks who's kids go there. A group of parents who are also musicians decided that a good way to raise money for the PTO was to hold a concert. Sounds logical, right? Well execution of something like this is crucial. An idea like this in the wrong hands could have ended up a Rafi, Wiggles, Barney suckfest. But thanks to >>> It was good music that kids and adults could enjoy and relate to. Check out the photos by Sam Simon below with some of my highlights.
The School's Faculty and Staff band kicked thing off
Followed by The Cleary Brothers with some Americana goodness:
James Kochalka rocked out. His set was by far the highlight for Ryland and Adi.
Rough Francis reworked/wrote kids songs to the tunes of some classic. Their set was my favorite with their version of "The Itsy, Bitsy Spider" to the tune of "The Spider by the Who, and a song about going to school to the tune of "Blitzkrieg Bop"
