On April 4, 2012, Portledge Lower School will welcome the popular children’s band, Princess Katie and Racer Steve, to perform at the school. The band consists of Princess Katie on vocals, Racer Steve on the electric guitar, Crash on the drums, and Space on the bass guitar. The band’s primary goal as musicians is to write, sing, and provide music for children. It started when they volunteered in children’s hospitals in the New York area. They knew they wanted to do more so they created characters to which children could relate and who also meant something to each of the performers. Their songs deal with issues that children face on a daily basis and incorporate positive themes and important lessons that children should learn about bullying, telling the truth, sharing, and respect. 

The band recently was recognized for having one of the year’s best kids’ CDs by the Washington Post and just released its latest CD called “Tiny Cool.” Their witty music encompasses all genres, including rock, reggae, country, dance, funk, swing and rockabilly music that celebrates the cuteness of kids.

This is a free, public event, open to all members of the community and children of all ages so do not miss out on an amazing musical experience. 

The show will begin at 8:40 a.m. at Portledge Lower School.
