Cedar Family welcomes back one of our most popular artists, Justin Roberts with the Not Ready for Naptime Players (will they EVER be ready)? His last show sold out, so please consider getting tickets in advance for this one. Justin Roberts is truly one of the "all-stars" of the indie family music scene. He logs thousands of miles on the road each year, leading some to call him the hardest working man in children's show business. With national awards and recognition and a devoted fan base, Justin and his bandmates dish out unexpectedly intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents. In a recent honor, Time Out New York chose one of Justin's recordings for their article "The best music for children from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s" Here's what they had to say (in the ages 4 to 9 years category):
Justin Roberts, Meltdown! (Carpet Square, 2006) His fifth album sounds like something you might have pulled out of your own power-pop collection, were it not for lyrics about how Mama’s “‘just a minute’…means more than just a minute.” Secret Agent 23 Skidoo calls him “the Buddy Holly of the kids world, perhaps with a better voice.”
"Pure Fun" — Entertainment Weekly
"Some of the most inspired and intelligent kids lyrics ever." — Amazon.com
"As a kids' performer, Roberts is in a league of his own." — Chicago Tribune
"On your feet fun and laugh-out-loud funny." — People Magazine
"One of the finest members of Chicago's hip kids music scene." Chicago Sun-Times
