Nursery Rhyme Blues: Music By, For and About Kids
Rock the cradle, with music by, for and about kids—but hip enough for children of all ages. Swing Mother Goose in jazz, blues and country; plus animal tales in rock and funk. Join us for a visit to the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp and hear the next generation of New Orleans musicians. Also, The Imagination Movers drop by to talk about going from a birthday party conversation to the next big sensation in kids’ music.
