Up Close with Laurie Berkner

“When did you learn to play the guitar?” “Where do the ideas for your songs come from?” “What’s your favorite song?” Curious children have the chance to ask Laurie Berkner these and other great questions during a Q&A session on Sunday at 11:30am with the children’s music superstar and Nick Jr. channel favorite. The session is first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive early if your kids want to take advantage of this special opportunity.
