The concert is presented by Junior Jams, a weekend live music series for kids and families brought to you by Kindiemusicdc and GIGS, a music instruction studio for young guitarists, vocalists, drummers and the like.

Both my kids love the Okee Dokee Brothers!
We don’t have a favorite kindie rock act…but this sounds like a great chance to explore a new one!
We are big fans and friends of the Imagination Movers but this looks to be a really fun show also! Hope we win!!
Fave kiddie band Joanie Leed & the Nightlights.
We also love the Okee Dokee Brothers in our house. In fact, they’re playing on the iPod right now!
My daughter LOVES the Okee Dokee Brothers!
Justin Roberts is one we like. Thanks!
We love Joanie Leeds too! But we don’t know The Grandsons Jr. Maybe it’ll become our new favorite!
We haven’t been to this venue or sent the artists above, but our daughter, 3, loves to rock out…everywhere, in the middle of restaurants, on the metro, with her microphone and instruments at home,etc. She has always loved music. When she was around a year old we started seeing Mr. Knick Knack and Rocknoceros. Thanks for this post and introducing us to mew music as well as venue and classes, checking it all out now. I know she’d love to win this!
I had never heard of kindiemusicdc or GIGS either so thanks for that as well!
To be honest, our daughter doesn’t have a favorite kindie rock artist yet, but she loves music and dancing. I’m so glad we stumbled onto this site and onto kindie music. Looking forward to watching her enjoy the tunes and further her love of rhythm! SO EXCITED!
My son loves Rainbow Rock Band!
My son is three so I don’t think he has a favorite kiddie band yet. He lsitens to the same music as us generally. He seems to like Hendrix and Cash. I wouldn’t mind taking him to this and seeing how he does.
Great show!
