What could be better than good music, children squeeling happily, and people coming together to support a good cause?

When we organized Kids’ Jam for Janeway in St. John’s Newfoundland, a benefit concert featuring some of the Juno Award nominees, we found out that such events are infectious! The reaction we received from parents and children alike, convinced us that there is a need for more, similar events.

We are so happy to announce that the KidsBeet Concert Series has sprouted!  The first of what is planned to be a series of concerts will take place on October 30th at First Church Boston.

The concert will feature the ever popular Ben Rudnick & Friends, Juno nominee Charlie Hope & Brooklyn favorite Suzi Shelton.  Hosting the event will be Rik Barron, a popular folk and children’s performer from St. John’s Newfoundland.  Rik Barron was the host of the original Kids’ Jam in St. John’s,  and we are very excited that we could arrange to have him participate in this follow-up event.

KidsBeet is being organized and promoted in partnership with BostonChildrensMusic.com,  and the Community Music Center of Boston (www.cmcb.org) a non-profit music school in Boston’s south end.

The goals of the concert are (1) provide a quality family music event at an affordable price (2) promote top local and visiting children’s music artists to local fans and bloggers, and (3) be a sustainable concert model that gives back to the community.

We are excited to be working closely with Franciscan Hospital for Children, who will be the beneficiary of the fund-raising activities.  Tickets for this special event will be on sale here on Kids Music Connection in the coming days.
