Name your favorite kids bands and you’ll probably find that they’re
from Brooklyn. BAM presents a mini-festival of some of the best music
for the newest generations straight from our borough: High-energy rock
band AudraRox tackles everything from lost shoes to short attention
spans; Astrograss features quirky bluegrass and folk interpretations of
Shel Silverstein’s poetry and sing-alongs to classic tunes; and Toxic
Muffin is an extraordinary band of 8- to 10-year-olds arising from the
new scene of music for kids by kids!
Presented as part of BAM’s new music initiative Brooklyn Next which highlights the extraordinary music and diversity of the borough.
