KidsBeet Concert in Boston

Filed under: Events 

Happy to pass this along from Amber of Boston Children’s Music:

On October 30th the KidsBeet concert series will be putting on a fun kids concert to benefit the Franciscan Hospital for Children (located in Brighton). This hospital serves so many special needs kids in the Boston area, particularly through outpatient therapy. My son receives PT here and they are just amazing!

The concert will feature three artists: Ben Rudnick & Friends, Charlie Hope, and Suzie Shelton. The event will be hosted by Rik Barron who will also play some of his kids songs between sets. It’s going to be a really fun show.

The concert will be at First Church Boston on October 30th from 10:30am to 12pm. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for kids. For more info visit http://kidsbeet.eventbrite.com/

Today, we recorded a really fun phone interview with Trace Beaulieu and Len Peralta about their book Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children. We had to edit it down a lot for the radio (it’ll air this Saturday), but here’s the full thing, unedited:

Trace Beaulieu and Len Peralta

The book is hilarious.  It is available now via tracebeaulieu.com (click on the link at the bottom of the “Under Construction” page) and you should get it.
