The Pictures are Here!!!

Dawid Parus_7CL2887 The Trummytones was hands down my favorite band to see yet at a Hip Tot. Ok, I will admit, I’ve been a Vinny Nobile fan for way longer than I’ve known the word Kindie. I must have seen Bim Skala Bim perform dozens of times. So when Vinny approached me to tell me that he was in on the Kindie bandwagon I couldn’t wait to book them!

trummyLets just start with the instruments. What kid wouldn’t want to see a tuba, trombone, accordion, sax, ukelele and drums right before their eyes… ALL AT ONE TIME! Not only that but the accordion is ORANGE and the guy who plays it you might have just seen him the other day on the L train platform playing that squeeze box with all his might. They also invited one of Hip Tot’s faves, Amelia Robinson, creator of Mil’s Trills and electric ukelele player extraordinaire!

Dawid Parus_IMG_3105Not only did we have a stellar performance by The Trummytones, we had Betsy Bird, one if the most awesome story tellers in NY, read her new book Giant Dance Party. And not only did she read it, she danced and wore the most awesome aqua blue leg warmers ever!

Dawid Parus_7CL2658Needless to say the show was a blast and I too had lots of fun tearing up the rug!

Look Who’s Rockin’ Ukelele Style on Sunday!

I am so excited because my favorite electric ukelele player has decided to join us on Sunday and open for Alex and the Kaleidoscope Band. You guessed it, AMELIA ROBINSON of Mil’s Trills!!! I mean could you think of a more fantastic electric ukelele player?

Like Hip Tot producers Gabby and Adam, Amelia is also Brooklyn native. Not only that, we all grew up in Park Slope! Ok, so we are a little older, but whose counting?

Amelia plays the electric ukulele and sings original, quirky and whimsical songs that will get the whole family moving. We are very happy she has offered to join us and we know you will be too!
