About this episode
We are not dinosaurs, but we are podcasters, and we are talking with kindie rock icon Laurie Berkner on Episode 19 of “Load-In Through the Back!” From performing in preschool classrooms and children’s birthday parties to selling out theaters, arenas, and punk-rock clubs (oh, you’ll hear about it), Laurie Berkner ’s three-decade-long life in music has been one unlike many others. You would be hard-pressed to find a more relevant and respected figure in Children’s Music than Laurie Berkner, with a catalog featuring such classic hits as “We Are the Dinosaurs,” “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” and “Rocketship Run.” In this interview we discuss Laurie’s influences prior to the Laurie Berkner Band , the art of touring and performing for children, the Talking Heads , and more. You can find out more about Laurie Berkner and the Laurie Berkner Band online @laurieberknerband, and find a show near you at laurieberkner.com – we assure you, your kids will love it.
