As seen on The Today Show, this co-viewing musical singing sensation known as LAUGHING PIZZA is wholesome fun for kids - and their parents. Beneath the colorful pop exterior is a multi-layered musical family of real-life mom (Lisa), dad (Billy), and daughter (Emily), whose combined talent makes up the nationally known, TV friendly family band. On February 8, 2011 they will be releasing to retail their new album Let's Go Play and that album has been submitted for consideration for a Grammy Nomination. Their music videos, or "Pizza Breaks," are also seen daily on PBS in millions of homes around the country.

Lisa and Billy are award-winning songwriters with a #1 Billboard hit to their credit, and are both classically trained musicians, having attended Juilliard and Berklee. They are also both former music teachers and honed their rock performance skilled in various indie bands such as Hot Boxes of Truth, Strap d'etrO, The Fly Boys, Shade, and Tag-4. Their fourteen year old daughter, Emily, is a multi-instrumentalist who plays bass, drums, guitar, piano and flute. Together they create fun, inspiring (and educational) music for the whole family! Laughing Pizza has appeared on the Today Show and performed at the White House three consecutive years (most recently with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers).

Laughing Pizza has been featured in Money Magazine, The New York Times, Family Energy Magazine, and The School Library Journal. Additionally, they have appeared on CNN, CBS Showbuzz, NY1, CN8, Fox Morning Atlanta and CBS Better Mornings. Laughing Pizza has released two DVDs and 4 CDs on their label "Little Bean Family Entertainment" and are the proud recipients of six Parents' Choice Awards. Their song "On My Way" was chosen by Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton (who co-wrote the lyrics) to be featured in the beautiful new book "Julie Andrews Collection of Songs, Poems, and Lullabies" (Little/Brown). Their live performances are energetic, interactive, dance-filled shows that get kids and parents up and moving, and have created a loyal following across the country.
