So there are some pro's and con's to playing kids music and writing a kids music blog. The pro is that you know the inside scoop on what fests have a kids stages because you've played them. The con is that when you're writing about a fest that you're playing at it comes off as self-promotion. (Which I'm not exactly opposed to).
Anyways, Bill Osbourne has an impressive line-up at this year's On the Waterfront fest in Rockford, Illinois. Not only is the Little Miss Ann Band playing but so is Thaddeus Rex (a reading enthusiastic kids musician), The Boogers (kids music meets the Ramones), and Secret Agent 2 Skidoo (kid-hop music all the way from Asheville, NC).
Cheap Trick may have paved the way with their music in Rockford, but us kids rockers are going to keep it going.
I started liking kids music when my daughter was born. I play kids music in Chicago under the name "Little Miss Ann". I work at the Old Town School of Folk Music. I'm also a literacy consultant in the Chicago Public Schools. My husband plays drums with me and my daughter is in 2nd grade.
If you are interested in submitting music to me, please e-mail me at ann@littlemissann.com.
