Called “the Adele of the preschool crowd” by the New York Times, Laurie Berkner “does what Fred Rogers did: respect, validate and reassure young children” (Los Angeles Times). Berkner has been a professional musician since 1992, and is widely acknowledged as a major contributor toward launching what is now dubbed the progressive “kindie rock” movement. Audiences of all ages enjoy her original rock takes, with parents’ enthusiasm matching that of their kids.
