Children’s recording star to play Westbury

The Island Now

Best-selling children’s recording artist and preschool television star Laurie Berkner invites Long Island families to share the spirit of the holiday season with The Laurie Berkner Band at a concert at 3 p.m on Sunday, Nov. 15 at NYCB Theatre at Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Rd.

“One of my fondest memories of the winter holidays is singing together with my family every Christmas Eve,” Berkner said. “It’s one of my favorite ways to celebrate this time of year, and I feel really lucky to sing some of those same songs now at my holiday concerts with families who enjoy my music!”

The Laurie Berkner Band’s concert will celebrate the season with such traditional, secular songs as “Jingle Bells,” and “Frosty the Snowman,” plus originals from Laurie’s well-loved album, A Laurie Berkner Christmas, like “Santa’s Coming to My House Tonight.” The band will also play Hanukkah standards “Candle Chase” and “The Dreidel Song,” and n array of Laurie’s greatest hits, such as “We Are The Dinosaurs,” “Victor Vito,” and “Pig On Her Head.” 

Berkner was the first artist to ever appear in music videos on Nick Jr. and was featured in nearly all of 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.”
