Laurie Berkner: The Greatest Hits Solo Tour

"I am thrilled to be coming back to New York City!" says Laurie Berkner. "Not only is it my hometown, it’s also where I played my very first shows as a kids’ musician. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to once again share my music with NYC families.”

A true pioneer in children's music, providing a soundtrack to childhood and memories that last a lifetime, Laurie Berkner will perform songs from a career spanning more than 25 years in the entertainment industry, including such well-loved hits as "Victor Vito," "Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)," "Pig On Her Head," "We Are The Dinosaurs," "Rocketship Run," and "The Goldfish (Let's Go Swimming)," and more recent fan favorites like "Waiting for the Elevator," "My Bunny Goes Hop," and "Chipmunk at the Gas Pump." As a special treat, Laurie will also sing some of her newest singles like "Let's Make A Shape" and "Onyx the Octopus." Laurie's concerts showcase an array of tunes that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up and dance. Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads).
