Hilltown Families can hook you up.  Rock.

The Deedle Deedle Dees played to a full house at Forbes Library this morning, with a slightly stripped-down lineup (but worry not, the full Dee experience will be at the Meltdown).  Here they are playing Nellie Bly:

On Sunday, February 21, we’re psyched to welcome AudraRox to the Iron Horse Music Hall in the No Nap Happy Hour!  The show is at 2:00 (doors at 1:30), and you can buy a family four-pack in advance only for just $30.

You’ve seen her on Sesame Street:

And here she is at last year’s KindieFest, playing “You Can’t Crawl in a Dress”:

Live, the band is wild and fun and just great.  Be there, won’t you?

Listen on demand any time you like by visiting the Spare the Rock page at WRSI.com!  And we’ll see you at the Eric Carle Museum at 1:00 (12:30 doors) for Elizabeth Mitchell & Family!
