Award-Winning Andrew & Polly Return to Andrew's Home Turf with 3 Family Shows

Andrew & Polly are back! After a long season of touring across the country, the fun and quirky LA-based kids' duo is excited to return to Andrew Barkan's home turf to present three interactive, acoustic sing-along concerts for families.

Andrew & Polly will perform at:

10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 16 at the Brisbane Library, 250 Visitacion Ave., Brisbane,

10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 17 at the Bernal Heights Branch Library, 500 Cortland Ave., San Francisco, and

4:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 17 at Recess Urban Recreation, 470 Carolina St, San Francisco.

Kids and families nationwide know and love the music of Andrew & Polly from hearing their songs on Sirius XM's Kids Place Live (where "Grapes" was the #1 song of the year for 2015 and "Dancing Pants" reached #1 this summer) and on Nickelodeon and Sesame Studios projects.

Andrew & Polly connect with kids in a big way. Their acoustic sets are highly interactive, improvising off of kids' lyric suggestions and encouraging the crowd to join in. The duo takes time during each concert to demonstrate their array of instruments, secretly slipping musical vocabulary into the show. While their studio arrangements are lushly layered, Andrew & Polly rely on the audience to act as back-up singers and percussion during their live shows, fleshing out the duo's quirky instrumentation, which includes ukulele, synthesizers, accordion, harmonica, glockenspiel, percussion and occasional beatboxing. After the show, fans are invited to try out the instruments with Andrew, get a sticker or stamp from Polly, and even request an encore rendition of any favorite songs they might have missed.

Andrew Barkan grew up in San Francisco's Sunset District and has wonderful memories of childhood visits to local libraries. Andrew & Polly are super excited to be performing for the first time at public libraries in the San Francisco area on November 16 and 17.

The Recess Urban Recreation show is part of Recess Urban Recreation's food drive for the Thanksgiving holiday. Families are encouraged to boogie, play, and spread some cheer to families in need by donating canned goods.

Andrew Barkan and Polly Hall are in demand for their sparkling music for grown-up films, TV, and commercials, but their true love is creating and performing music for children. The married couple makes no bones about where their priorities lie. According to Andrew, "The commercial accolades are nice, but much more meaningful to us was winning the prestigious ASCAP Foundation Joe Raposo Children's Music Award for a song from our debut children's album, Up and At 'Em!"

Andrew & Polly's third album of playful pop tunes for kids, Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast, was released on September 30th. Previous albums by Andrew & Polly include Odds & Ends (2015, Parents' Choice® Award, Fids & Kamily Top 10 Albums of the Year), Up and At 'Em! (2010, ASCAP Foundation Joe Raposo Children's Music Award for the song "When You're a Dog"), and a holiday EP, Other Days (2015).
