Washington, DC's award-winning power pop trio for kids and families -- Rocknoceros -- will rock our nation's capital with two free shows for families at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 17 at the historic The National Theatre, 1321 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC. Free tickets may be picked up at the National Theatre box office 30 minutes before each show.
In keeping with the historic setting of their October 17 shows, and in celebration of their tenth anniversary year, Rocknoceros will perform many of their USA-themed songs at The National Theatre, including a bevy of high-octane numbers from the band's recently released album, Plymouth Rockers, such as "Virginia," " O-H-I-O," "Texas," "The Sunshine State," "Mississippi River," "Colorado," and a one-of-a-kind Rocknoceros take on Irving Berlin's classic anthem, "God Bless America." They're sure to play one of their all-time fan favorites, "The United States of America," too. As virtually every family with youngsters in the DC area knows, Rocknoceros is three guys: Coach Cotton, Williebob, and Boogie Woogie Bennie. Rocknoceros is the only show in town where families can catch a one-man-band setting the pace for a power trio, with Boogie Woogie Bennie playing the drums with his feet while his two hands are busy with the keyboard and keyboard bass. (And he sings, too!) When this one-man groove machine teams up with the guitar pyrotechnics of Williebob and the vocal prowess of Coach Cotton, the result is a triple-threat, bell-ringing explosion of power pop American energy and talent.Videos
