About the band: After illustrating three innovative books about the adventures of ScribbleMonster, which focuses on what the child CAN do, rather than focusing on what he or she can’t, “ScribbleJim” began applying the same approach to music in 2001. A “pioneer of kindie rock”, ScribbleMonster is comprised of five veteran Chicago-area performers with a combined 15 children and a history of creating, teaching and performing music, comedy and theater.
“ScribbleMonster plugs healthy eating with their unique brand of hard pop. A Parenting Pick.” -Parenting Magazine
Top 25 Albums For Kids: ”If there was such a category as alternative kids’ rock, ScribbleMonster would be at the top of its charts.” -AOL ParentDish

Friday, May 6
6pm – 9pm
Gate House Lawn6-7pm West of Staley | 7-9pm Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound
$5/person or $10 per family, at the gate
Food + drinks for purchaseAbout the bands: The jazz combo West of Staley performs a mix of jazz standards and original compositions. Although young, the members are experienced jazz performers, winning countless group and soloist awards at jazz festivals. They have played in the Jazz Band of America, performed on stages from the Iron Post to Festival Disney to Carnegie Hall, and worked and performed with jazz legends Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon, and Shelly Berg.
“Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound are the latest in Fresh Venerable. Benefiting from years of unassuming and understated hipness, they bring forth a funky, lyrically charged racket that sits comfortably with soulful sounds the world over. Intricate but free-swinging, explosive yet intimate, fresh and green as grass. Taking cues from the dance bands of western Louisiana (and his native Midwest,), the streets (and 45’s) of New Orleans, touring African and Caribbean combos and the soul, funk & blues of his youth coupled with early , teeth-cutting experience in the verbal hotbeds of the coffeehouse scene, Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture.”
