Ebird & Friends Kids Show
The second annual Ebird &
Friends Kids Show! The show will be held
on Mother’s Day Weekend at The Ark and it is
sure to bring out mom’s inner child.
With fresh, fun, and funky versions of children’s music, it's certainly
not just for kids! Featuring new music
by The Ragbirds, childhood favorites from a crew of amazing musicians, dancing,
fun and silliness – this is guaranteed to be an unforgettable show for adults
and kids alike!
The Ragbirds, who are known for their dynamic, high-energy
shows will be joined on stage by Grammy-winning harmonica sensation Peter
Madcat Ruth, Chris Good (The Funky Farmer), Yorg Kerasiotis (Bump, Flashclash),
members of The Macpodz, Diana Ladio (The Moxie Strings), and more. With comedienne Shelly Smith as the MC, it will be an afternoon to remember.
“Ebird” is Erin Zindle of the Ragbirds and she is a musician
any kid would love. With a totally
accessible personality and both arms full of instruments, she has a way of
charming audiences with pigtails and an unstoppable smile. Erin's
husband Randall Moore plays percussion in the band and this year the couple
welcomed their first child into the world. As musicians who make their living from touring the United States (they
average 150 shows a year), they realized it was time to think of rooting down
in the community, and branching out in new ways. Working with children seems like a natural
extension of their musical journey and so they reached out to their talented
friends to join in the fun.
