Harvey's Kitchen — Big Bang Boom, take 2

0 Comments 24 Jan, 2009

One just wasn’t enough.

Here’s what Big Bang Boom has to say about themselves:

What happens when professional musicians become parents? They play and write children’s music. This is the path taken by Big Bang Boom, a children’s music group from Greensboro. After 20 years touring clubs and playing parties, Chuck Folds (younger brother of piano rocker Ben Folds) and Steve Williard decided to expand their horizons and play for kids. Together with drummer eddie walker they have become the parent friendly kid’s rock band alternative.

Big Bang Boom is designed to give parents something else to listent to besides disney music and the wiggles. There is some good quality children’s music being recorded these days. You can catch it on any kid-friendly TV stations, and now you can hear live too.

Big Bang Boom plays some children’s favorites as well as their own original songs for kids. So check ‘em out, bring your young rockers to a show- or have them perform at any event where kids are ready to sing and dance- have a Big Bang Boom Rock-n-Roll Birthday Party!

We were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of these really fabulously talented musicians performing in our kitchen.  Chuck handed us a copy of their  album, “Why can’t I have Ice Cream,” and with nary a child in sight we played the entire thing several times.  Several.  The band had left hours before.  We played the album again.  Call it an obsession.
