Bubboon's Tunes
Bubboon & Bubbles are
officially known as "Bubboon's Tunes" and in real
life they are the creative team of Bill and Jennifer Winegardner,
who write, record, and perform their own music, including
the Kids Corner classic tune "The Cheese Song"!
Bill first created his character, Bubboon, the Royal Fool,
at a Renaissance festival. Their voices are comedic, exaggerated,
and over the top, which serves the content of the songs
perfectly. All of their songs - including their latest hit
"Worm Collection" - are truly foolish,
completely goofy and ridiculous, and kids (and adults) will
find them vastly entertaining!

Steve Pullara & The Cool
Beans Band
There is something about a
Steve Pullara show that connects with kids in a special

it's the way he brings together music and art and kids.
Maybe it's the good feeling he gives their parents. Or,
it could be his love for all things Italian! No matter what

The band’s critically acclaimed debut CD, I Can Do It By Myself!, features Audra’s impeccably smooth vocals, catchy sing-along melodies, and a distinctive blow-the-roof-off-the-playhouse sound. AudraRox has performed live at Symphony Space and the Knitting Factory in NYC, the Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando, and Radio Disney’s Peanut Butter & Jams @ the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.
