Laurie Berkner
"The queen of children's music."-PEOPLE MAGAZINE
"The Adele of the preschool crowd."-THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Laurie Berkner does what Fred Rogers did: respect, validate and reassure young children."-THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
Recognized as "the queen of children's music," Laurie Berkner is a singer, songwriter, lyricist, author, and founder of Two Tomatoes Records. She has released eleven bestselling, award-winning albums, was the first recording artist ever to perform in music videos on Nick Jr., and appeared regularly on the network’s Jack’s Big Music Show. Laurie's music has graced the short-form animated series Sing It, Laurie! on 24-hour preschool television channel Sprout, and she has been a frequent guest on Sprout's Sunny Side Up morning show.
Venturing into the theater world, Laurie has written music and lyrics for two Off-Broadway children’s musicals. A project close to her heart has been designing the curriculum and training teachers for Laurie Berkner's The Music in Me, an early childhood music program based on Laurie Berkner's music and classroom philosophy. What sets Laurie apart? The Wall Street Journal says, "Her music speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grownups." In concert, Laurie is joined by her longtime collaborators Susie Lampert, Bob Golden, and Brady Rymer — the “band” — in old and new “greatest hits,” including songs from Laurie’s new album, Superhero, The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band, The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection, and more!
