Aaron Nigel Smith & Kids from Achievement First Perform At Kindiefest

Aaron Nigel Smith was recently added to the line-up at the Kindiefest public music festival in New York. Students from Brooklyn's own Achievement First East New York Elementary School will join Aaron for a couple of songs during his set at the festival. " I had a terrific time working with the scholars from Achievement First on the In A Book music video for National Reading Month in February. It was a natural fit for them to perform with me at the festival in their hometown.

This year's event is scheduled for May 1 from 12:00-4:00pm. In addition to Aaron Nigel Smith, The line up for Kindiefest's Family Festival includes The Verve Pipe, Elizabeth Mitchell & You Are My Flower, Tim & the Space Cadets, Oran Etkin, and Heidi Swedberg and the Sukey Jump Band (who is actually Susan from Seinfeld!).

Aaron Nigel Smith has been a featured musical guest on the Emmy Award® winning PBS Kids television series Between the Lions and works with the NEA Read Across America program to promote literacy through music.

Kindiefest is the world's first-ever family music conference that fully embraces today's market in all its diversity. Focusing exclusively on music for kids and families, Kindiefest will help uncover the fastest-growing aspect of the music business: family entertainment.

In 2010 Kindiefest expanded to three days, including a first-night party and keynote and a Sunday public festival. Read all about 2010 here. Kindiefest is an event of Kindiefest LLC.
