Staying safe and sound inside? Legendary children's musician Laurie Berkner is here to help keep kids entertained. After taking a brief break, Laurie has resumed her LIVE "Berkner Break" concerts on a new schedule, and she'll celebrate birthdays once a month, too!

Families can join Laurie, direct from her house, for LIVE "Berkner Break" concerts, streamed free of charge on most Monday and Friday mornings at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on her Facebook page: HERE. Laurie offers an abundance of songs, playful movement activities, stories, and more in these half-hour shows, performing such well-loved favorites as “We Are The Dinosaurs” and “The Goldfish (Let’s Go Swimming)," plus educational earworms like “Waiting For The Elevator” (the title track of Laurie's most recent, NAPPA award-winning album) and “Look At All The Letters." Laurie creates an entire world of song and expression in which enthusiasm and respect for the growing child is front and center, with emotional development sitting right alongside intellectual development.

Additionally, once a month for the rest of the year, Laurie Berkner will give a free Facebook Live birthday celebration for kids who were born in that month – a party everyone is invited to! Laurie encourages families who are watching to decorate, just like she will, wear party clothes, and bake a special birthday treat to bring to the party.

"One of the most popular aspects of the Facebook Live concerts I've been giving since we all started staying home has been our birthday party celebration theme," says Laurie Berkner. "I want to make sure that every child who watches my livestreamed shows has a chance to have their birthday celebrated, so we are continuing the parties once a month for the rest of the year!"

Laurie Berkner's Birthday Party shows will take place at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on her Facebook page HERE on the following dates:

- Friday, August 21
- Monday, September 14
- Friday, October 16
- Friday, November 20
- Friday, December 18

Laurie's LIVE "Berkner Break" concerts will be presented on most Mondays and Fridays, except for Birthday Party show days. Laurie will also take a week off before and after each of her upcoming, full-length, virtual family concerts. These ticketed events include a "Dinosaur Beach Party" on August 9, a "Pajama Party" on September 20, a "Halloween Party" on October 31, and a "Holiday Party" on December 13. Find out more about Laurie's full-length concerts HERE.

Laurie Berkner has received tremendous critical acclaim. USA Today named Laurie "the undisputed queen of kindie rock." Time Magazine lauded her as "a kind of sippy-cup Sheryl Crow ... Berkner inhabits a kid's curious perspective in her lyrics and pens folk-pop melodies that bear repeated -- very repeated -- listenings." 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." NPR's All Things Considered declared, "Laurie Berkner is like a goddess to these children."

NEW Single From Laurie Berkner (Children's Musician): A Dollar!

KIDS' MUSIC LEGEND LAURIE BERKNER

RELEASES NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO

"A DOLLAR"

"The queen of kids' music." – People Magazine

"The Adele of the preschool crowd." – The New York Times

Legendary children's musician Laurie Berkner brings the fun to making change with her new single, "A Dollar."  An instant Berkner classic, this song will have kids and parents bopping along as Laurie breaks down all the ways to change a dollar. It'll help kids get a jump-start on their math and logic, and the tune is so catchy that parents might even find themselves humming it at the cash register. With Laurie to help out, math just makes, well, "cents"!

"I really enjoyed the visual, playful, and math aspects of writing this song," says Laurie. "I hope the meaning of the numeric relationships will make sense to older kids, and that all kids will have fun with it!"



The "A Dollar" music video features Laurie Berkner and bandmate Susie Lampert as they try to buy some ice cream, and in the process, learn about the different coin combinations that make one dollar.

This song will be on Laurie Berkner's new album, Waiting For The Elevator, coming October 4th, 2019.

"A Dollar" is available TODAY at all digital outlets.

Laurie Berkner Band's NEW DVD/CD combo pack "Party Day" Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 9/12

My son's 4th birthday (Heather on Airplanes and Dragonflies) is coming up and we can't wait to share the Laurie Berkner Band's NEW DVD/CD combo pack called "Party Day" with our friends and their children! It's going to be so awesome to have it playing in the background for the kids to check out, watch, and interact with. The CD includes five songs from the DVD, including "My Family." Our favorite song on the DVD and CD is "Where is the Cake?" I love playing the CD in the car over and over again. It's nice that I can listen and sing along with something that is great for my children to listen to.



Check out the "Party Day" song on the DVD above! Turn up your speakers!

My children love to dance, play, and act out the movements that go along with the DVD and CD. I am going to have to purchase the previous Laurie Berkner Band's DVD, "Let's Hear it for the Laurie Berkner Band!" just so I can change things up once in a while.





My favorite song by The Laurie Berkner Band is called "Moon, Moon, Moon." I love singing this song to my children at night and to help calm them down. They sing along with me and because it's a slow song, it helps to soothe them and calm them down.
