A former preschool music teacher by day and indie rocker by night, Laurie Berkner started selling her music more than fifteen years ago out of her living room on her own label, Two Tomatoes Records. She is now widely recognized as a pioneer in the “kindie” music genre, and was dubbed “The undisputed queen of kindie rock” by USA Today. The Wall Street Journal noted “Her music is distinctive because it speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups.”
Laurie Berkner was the first artist to ever appear in music videos on Nick Jr. and was featured in nearly all the episodes of the channel’s Jack’s Big Music Show. She currently stars in the animated musical short-form series Sing It, Laurie! on the Sprout preschool channel and makes regular appearances on Sprout’s Sunny Side Up Show.
Laurie newest album, a compilation of greatest hits titled The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection, is a follow up to The Best Of The Laurie Berkner Band, which has been a top-seller on the children’s music chart since it was released in 2010. Laurie has written two children’s books, authored two e-books for kids, and released two DVDs. She has also made her mark in the theatre world! Laurie wrote the music and lyrics for last year’s popular off-Broadway production of Wanda’s Monster, produced by the Making Books Sing, and she is excited about another collaboration with that organization. The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess, with music and lyrics by Laurie Berkner, runs from November 15 – December 7 at Theater 3 in Manhattan.
