SteveSongs, adored by millions of families throughout the country as the co-host of the nationally broadcast PBS KIDS preschool destination, will bring his signature brand of seriously good (and seriously fun) music to the “Kids Rock for the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC)” show to benefit Innovative Basic Cancer Research at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 7 at the American Legion Nonantum Post 440, 295 California St., Newton, MA.

The concert will take kids and families on what LA Parent Calls “a marvelous musical journey” as they celebrate the release of their eight album, Orangutan Van.

Says Steve, “We’re excited that ‘Flat Stanley,’ the first single from Orangutan Van, reached the number one spot on the Sirius/XM Radio Kids Place Live chart, and now ‘Song Without a Rhyme’ is making its way up the chart!

The new album and some of its songs have been four years in the making, and I’m grinning to myself just thinking about sharing some of these new tunes, like ‘A is for Silly’ and ‘Superhero You’, with fans in Newton.

We have some surprises planned for the live show, too, but I can’t give them away yet!”

SteveSongs shows are fantastic, fun-filled, kid-pleasing extravaganzas, packed with great melodies, clever stories, and over-the-top interactivity.

The Newton audience will be sure to enjoy the boisterous call and response for 'Grumpy Boy', the giggle generating, tricky audiation game in 'Brush, Brush, Brush' and the heart pumping, hip hopping dance to one of Steve's most requested new songs, 'Recess Rocks'.

For this show, fans will enjoy an orchestrated medley, which joins the most requested songs from the group's previous seven albums into one continuous, epic tune.

This soon-to-be-famous medley will include SteveSongs fan favorites like 'Bear Hunt,' 'Fast Monkey,' 'Pirate Song,' 'Opposite Day, 'Spyrtle the Turtle,' 'Gravity,' 'The Beach Song' and more.

This event will also include face painting, kids’ crafts tables, refreshments, and drawings for a chance to win a brand new iPad Mini-16 GB Black.

All funds raised will benefit Innovative Basic Cancer Research.
