Get ready to jam with your family at the Fama Jama Sing Song, an exciting new music series featuring six imaginative, interactive, family-friendly New York-based bands.
On April 28, the series kicks off with performances by Junior Jam, Patricia Shih, The Rockdoves, The Fuzzy Lemons, Erin Lee and the Up Past Bedtime Band, and Feldiken. They will be serving up a musically diverse menu of folk, rock, punk, pop, and show tunes at The Westside YMCA Grosvenor House on West 105th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan.
Junior Jam is an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers award-winning act, featuring songwriter Jeff Eisenberg and singers Adrienne Asterita and Elayne Kessler. Their high-energy live shows are interactive, educational, and fun. Patricia Shih, who has garnered multiple national awards as a singer-songwriter, is also a touring recording artist, author, and TV personality. Using rock, Broadway, jazz, country, and world beats, Shih and her husband, Stephen Fricker, bring her “music with meaning” to all ages. Also in the lineup are The Rockdoves, a family music group who aim to create tunes with artistry, intelligence, humor, and respect for kids and their families. Drawing inspiration from folk, the blues, and rock and roll, The Rockdoves offer an exciting live performance that delights audiences with its blend of education, comedy, and storytelling.
This free event will take place in conjunction with the YMCA’s “Healthy Kids Day,” which will be promoting exercise and helping kids and families make healthy food choices. Weather permitting, the concert will take place atop the Y’s roof, with panoramic views of New York City’s westside.
At the kick-off event, the bands will showcase their sound during short-and-sweet sets, giving families a preview of the full-length shows that each of the buzz-worthy bands will perform throughout the spring. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to these fun-filled, high energy concerts for all ages!
