Freehold, NJ – People Magazine dubbed Laurie Berkner the “Queen of children’s music,” and now a royal treat awaits fans of all ages as the Laurie Berkner Greatest Hits Tour comes to iPlay America’s Event Center for two shows on May 7, at 12:00 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets start at $27.50. VIP Meet & Greet tickets with preferred seating are $75.
“It’s an awesome experience. There will definitely be dancing in the aisles,” said Jessica Schwartz vice president of sales and marketing for iPlay America. “The Laurie Berkner band is magical in their ability to engage and create a relaxed atmosphere of fun for everyone in the audience. That’s why her fans never miss an opportunity to see her live at iPlay America. Kids, dads, grandparents… they all sing… they all dance. Everybody loves Laurie Berkner.”
Laurie Berkner, lauded as a “Pied Piper of Pre-Schoolers,” has been a longtime fixture on TV’s Nick Jr. and Sprout channels, and her original songs, CDs (nine so far, including the new The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection) DVDs, music videos, and books have left no doubt: Laurie Berkner is the uncrowned queen of children’s music and the power behind the progressive “kiddie rock” movement. What sets her apart? Her music speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters and delighting grown-ups. Laurie will be joined by her longtime collaborators Susie Lampert, Bob Golden, and Brady Rymer – the “band” – in old and new hits, including songs from her Rocketship Run CD and her DVD, Party Day.
Fans across the country describe a Laurie Berkner concert as being a great show, a perfect first concert for children, and a show that makes kids dance. Dedicated followers know that the level of performance the Laurie Berkner Band delivers to their audience is fun filled, interactive, and totally fresh. Fans who’ve seen them once, twice, or ten times, know the joy and family-friendly fun of a Laurie Berkner concert is something special for music lovers of every age.
