Welcome to Music Thursdays. Each week, Geek Alabama will feature an artist or band and their latest song and / or music video. People love music, and we love featuring artists and bands!
Ready for a spooktacular Halloween experience? Iconic children’s musician Laurie Berkner invites families to stop in for a spell at two special “Halloween Party” LIVE Virtual Family Concerts on Sunday, October 31 at 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Laurie’s concert website: HERE. For double the fun, a family ticket grants admission to both livestreams.
Laurie will treat little tricksters to her brand new Halloween song, “I Picked One Pumpkin. She’ll have everyone singing along to “What Am I Gonna Be (for Halloween)?,” “The Superhero Mask Song,” “Monster Boogie,” “The Cat Came Back,” and “Choc-o-lot In My Pock-o-lot.” Laurie will also sing an array of fan favorites like “We Are the Dinosaurs,” “Victor Vito,” “Chipmunk at the Gas Pump,” “The Goldfish,” “Moon Moon Moon,” and “Pig On Her Head.”
For kids who are all dressed up with nowhere to ghost, Laurie’s shows will give the season of costumes, candy, and jack-o’-lanterns a real “BOO-st.” Laurie hopes families will join her in displaying their pumpkins, putting up their Halloween decorations, and getting decked out in their Halloween costume finery.
“Out of an abundance of caution to protect my fans and their families, I have made the difficult decision to cancel the rest of my 2021 in-person concerts. So, I am bringing my livestreams back! I’m so excited to be able to have a Halloween Concert this year that anyone can attend – and that keeps all of my fans safe,” says Laurie Berkner. “It will be filled with extra on-screen Halloween magic and even a brand new Halloween song. I can’t wait to get back to joining families in their homes to sing and celebrate together!”
The Laurie Berkner Band’s bass player, Brady Rymer, will be a special guest at this show, and other band members will also pop by.
Laurie Berkner’s virtual family concerts are full-length, visually-enriched, interactive experiences, so kids might see images of marching dinosaurs during “We Are The Dinosaurs” or pumpkins in a pumpkin patch during “I Picked One Pumpkin.” Kids and grownups alike are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas with Laurie in a live chat throughout the show.
A fun-filled virtual lobby will feature pre-show music and videos and a Halloween game. For those who’d like to spend a few minutes chatting one-on-one with Laurie after the show, special Meet-and-Greet tickets are available.
