Summer Shows Galore!

[Bill Childs]

Hi everyone,

We've been out of town and thus out of touch for a few weeks, but
there are some terrific family-friendly shows coming up I wanted to
let you know about.

• Tuesday, July 7 (hey, that's TOMORROW!) at 4:00 - The Mudcakes bring
their Australian Americana (huh?) family music to the Cup & Top Cafe
for free!

• Sunday, July 12, 12:30 - Recess Monkey at the Eric Carle Museum.
This is the first show we're helping put together over there. $8.50
gets you in to see both Recess Monkey (http://
www.recessmonkeytown.com) rock out at 12:30 AND the Just So Stories at
2:00. Whoo-hoo!

• Sunday, July 26, 2:00 (1:30 doors) - The No Nap Happy Hour gets
kicked off at the Iron Horse Music Hall with Lunch Money. Check out
this great NPR All Things Considered piece on Lunch Money - http://is.gd/mdj8
- and also check out their website - http://lunchmoneymusic.com - and
you should be convinced. Lunch Money's shows are fun, engaging, and
guaranteed to make you and your kids happy. (Lunch Money will guest
DJ on Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child, on Saturday, July 25.) http://iheg.com

August 23, 2:00 (1:30 doors) - The No Nap Happy Hour continues with
Justin Roberts & the Not Ready for Naptime Trio. http://justinroberts.org/
Justin Roberts creates intelligent and whimsical rock for the whole
family and is one of the true stars of the kindie rock scene, often
playing festivals and the like. This is a great opportunity to see
Justin and the trio in an intimate setting. http://iheg.com

There are a ton more shows coming up in the No Nap Happy Hour series,
but those can wait. Be sure to listen to Spare the Rock, Spoil the
Child (every Saturday morning from 8 to 10 on 93.9 The River and 7 to
9 on 103.3 VFR) for more! (Incidentally, did you know that you can
listen to our old shows anytime you want? http://wrsi.com/pages/3312919.php)

Rock,
Bill & Ella & sometimes Liam
