Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights Rock Out in Westchester This June

Award-winning kids' musicians Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights will rock out for families with a fun-filled, all-ages concert at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 11 at Shames JCC on the Hudson, 371 South Broadway, Tarrytown, NY. This free show is part of Family Fun Day, which marks the official unveiling of the new and improved Shames JCC on the Hudson. All are welcome!

Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights' performance will be a high energy, interactive experience from start to finish, showcasing such fan favorites as "Meshugana," the crazy "Freeze Dance," "I Wanna Be Green," and "Joanie's Top 10 Rock and Roll Songs," which features choruses parents will recognize from classic rock songs like "Satisfaction," "Paradise City, and "Hey Jude." Joanie and the band will also play an array of genre-hopping tunes from their new album, Brooklyn Baby!, which is set for release on May 19.

Joanie Leeds says, "I've never been one to stay stuck in any one particular musical style because I know kids love 'em all -- rock, pop, funk, soul, ska, go-go, gospel, country -- and frankly, so do I! Our band is super-excited to be part of Shames JCC on the Hudson's Family Fun Day. It's gonna be an awesome party!"

Gifted with a soulful, "rock solid" voice that ranges from low and bluesy to high, light, and breezy, Joanie Leeds is an exceptionally versatile artist who brings serious musicianship to the table right alongside a terrific sense of fun and fashion. Says SiriusXM's Kids Place Live host Mindy Thomas, "Joanie Leeds is that cool babysitter who would let you try on her lip gloss once your mom left the house. You idolized her, and your mom knew she could trust her. That's Joanie. Only she's also likely to completely ROCK THE ROOF OFF YOUR HOUSE!"

Joanie Leeds & The Nightlights have performed in dozens of cities nationwide at such prominent venues as The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, The Smithsonian, the CMAs, the Hang Out Festival, Symphony Space, Wolf Trap, and LA's Skirball Center.
