KidsBeet has Sprouted!

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 followed-up with a concert on October 30th, 2010 at First Church Boston.  This concert featured the ever popular Ben Rudnick & Friends, Juno nominee Charlie Hope & Brooklyn favorite Suzi Shelton. Hosting the event was 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 were very excited that we could arrange to have him participate in this follow-up event.

We were very grateful for the support and partnership of  BostonChildrensMusic.com which helped promote the event, and the Community Music Center of Boston (www.cmcb.org) a non-profit music education program in Boston’s south end, which assisted with promotion and in providing some musical activities.

The event was held in support of Franciscan Hospital for Children, which was the beneficiary of the fund-raising activities.

At the moment there are not any plans for another concert of this type.
