Mr. Singer & the Sharp Cookies - band
Brand new to Music City!
For decades Mr. Singer lead Chicago’s most energetic band that rocks for kids- at the zoo, at museums, at nightclubs (and dayclubs) and anywhere else that families with young children like to rock out together. The songs are clever originals augmented by some punky favorites all amplified by a bigger-than-life performer and his talented band mates. Each show has its own surprises- from puppets to special guests, to a suitcase full of instruments for a hands on hootenanny! And it’s hard to find more fun than a five-year- old and their parents tuning in and dancing their hearts out!
Most sets are 45-minutes of performance with ample time before and after to share high-fives and conversation.
Pricing for additional musicians and discount rate for multiple sets available upon request.

LIVE SHOW PRESS

“Mr. Singer is the best around: a talented guitarist whose folksy music set featured music you could bob your head to, a kids’ musician who was more Springsteen and less Old MacDonald. Singer’s clearly a man who loves to perform; he rocked every tune, brandishing his guitar and jumping to the beat. The children adored him, and the mamas and nannies in the audience certainly gave him their rapt attention.”

- Elizabeth Shapiro of Chicagoist

“Mr. Singer plays to a packed house every week at the Lincoln Park Zoo. His young fans are captivated by his colorful costumes and interactive shows.”
