A leader in children’s entertainment in the Washington, DC area, Uncle Devin is an award-winning drummer and percussionist who specializes in family funk. He is co-owner of The Uncle Devin Show®, an interactive musical experience for children that uses percussion instruments to cultivate their minds. The music is a compelling mix of the fun educational tunes of Schoolhouse Rock and DC’s own Trouble Funk, a foundational local group that helped popularize funk and go-go in the Washington metro area.

Kick off our Kids Rock @ TOP series with Detroit-based guitarist and singer/songwriter Paula Menssner, also known as Miss Paula, performs candy-coated punk for kids and adults alike. Before dominating the kids music scene, Miss Paula was known for her bands The Roomates, Vertical Pillows, and Motor Dolls. After becoming a mother to two daughters in 1998, she reworked classic nursery rhymes into rock and roll tunes with her punk rock group The Candy Band. After five albums and four performances in a row at Lollapalooza, they parted ways in 2015.

Family friendly rock music at its best!

Milkshake is a band on a mission: to create great rock music for kids.  Led by singer Lisa Mathews and guitarist Mikel Gehl, whose songs for grown-ups have been featured in movies and prime-time television, and whose indie rock group Love Riot garnered critical praise during its 10-year run, Milkshake has won over preschoolers without compromising songcraft, stagecraft or their authentic rock & roll spirit.

Mister G, with his catchy rhythms and wacky lyrics, is truly an all ages concert for the family!
