Kids Music in Chicago

(November 2nd) Little Miss Ann at Beat Kitchen

I wish I had been at this concert, but at least we can get a peek at the fun thanks to Brittany’s video on YouTube. We’re also currently listening to Little Miss Ann’s new CD, Clap for Love at our house and it is a big hit. It is definitely worth adding to your collection.

Clap for Love

There’s a Little Wheel

(October 19th) Justin Roberts at Hyde Park Union Church

Now that we’re mostly unpacked and the kids are settled in school, we’re finally making it out of the house more and looking forward to enjoying more kids music. We kicked off our Fall with a fantastic Justin Roberts concert at the Hyde Park Union Church. Unsurprisingly, we got to hear a lot of music from ‘Pop Fly’ and all the kids were really happy when the final encore was ‘Meltdown’.

There was a bit of excitement when Justin Roberts’ ‘A’ string broke.

Lotsa dancing, singing and fun was had by all.

(August 21st) Little Miss Ann at Millennium Park

Last week I walked from our new house in the South Loop to Millennium Park for morning Wiggleworms. I was happily surprised to find Little Miss Ann was performing. Of course the performance was fantastic and the big news was that she has another CD coming out soon.
