Kindie Rock Queen Laurie Berkner to Play the CCA 2/11
Best-selling children's recording artist and preschool television favorite Laurie Berkner will bring her Greatest Hits Solo Tour to the Capitol Center for the Arts at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 11, 2017. This all-ages concert will feature such popular hits as "Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)," "Victor Vito," "We Are The Dinosaurs," and "Pig on Her Head." As a special treat, the Concord show will be among the first at which Laurie performs songs from her new album, Superhero, which is comprised entirely of all-new songs.
Dubbed "one of children's music's biggest success stories" by USA Today, Laurie Berkner's original songs, albums, DVDs, music videos, and books make her the uncrowned queen of children's music and the power behind the progressive "kindie rock" movement. She was the first artist to ever appear in music videos on Nick Jr. and was featured in nearly all the episodes of the channel's Jack's Big Music Show. She currently stars in the animated musical short-form series Sing It, Laurie! on the Sprout preschool channel and has made frequent appearances on Sprout's Sunny Side Up morning show. Laurie is also a familiar presence on SiriusXM's Kids Place Live. The Wall Street Journal called Laurie "one of the most popular children's performers in America ... her music is distinctive because it speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups."

Tickets may also obtained at the CCA's box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridayfrom 11AM to 6PM and Saturdays from 11AM to 2PM.
About the Capitol Center for the Arts The award-winning Capitol Center for the Arts (www.ccanh.com) inspires, educates, and entertains audiences by providing a quality venue for the performing arts as well as a wide range of professional-level, artistically-significant presentations.
