Looking for some light entertainment to beat the
February blahs? Then pack-up your troubles – and your kids – and head over to the Gravenhurst Opera House to see Canada’s best-loved children’s
performers, Judy and
David!
Recently-nominated
with a Juno Award for
Best Children's Recording for their
Once Upon a Tune CD, BeanStock,
this fun duo are set to thrill Muskokans of all ages with a
special performance March 9th (show commences at 1
p.m., and all seats are $15). The
new CD – which will be performed at The Op – is a groovy
new musical version of Jack
and the Beanstalk, complete with sing-along songs, sound
effects and character dialogue. (The CD also features a guest
appearance by Canadian pop diva Jann Arden, and samples can be
heard on their website.)
After
seeing their show, it’s obvious Judy and David love one
thing more than their music... their audience. The show’s
fun-filled songs reveal the couple’s (they were married in
1991) genuine love of children.
“We
do believe in bringing people together through music,” said
David in an interview posted on their website. “If you're at
a concert with hundreds of other people having a common
experience, it builds bonds. We want to give kids the feeling
that they're part of the music."
The
pair's songs are especially “tuned-in” to what matters to
preschoolers and early graders, brought off with a light and
whimsical touch – not to mention contagious melodies and
appealing arrangements.
