The Rock and Roll Playhouse released their anxiously awaited debut album titled, Friends Rock! on March 8. The album marks the first full-length body of work from the number one kids live concert series in the US.
The album’s core cast of lovable characters – Mick, Stevie, Tina, Quinn, and Jerry – unite to re-imagine some of rock music’s greatest hits. Friends Rock! translates the classic choruses and melodies of rock’s most recognizable anthems into age-appropriate singalongs for your little ones.
Parents and kids alike can enjoy the fun spin on what Rock and Roll Playhouse brings to the stage. Queen’s “You’re My Best Friend,” the Beatles’ “We Can Work it Out” are among the songs reimagined. Along with these, Rock and Roll Playhouse boasts original tunes like “The Rock and Roll Playhouse Anthem” and more.
Simply put, Friends Rock! is fun to listen to. The classics are always great, and the kid-like style they are performed in is certainly something families love, and kids adore. The song choices for Friends Rock! is perfect the way they uplift. Every song is about the power of friendship and love. These are themes you love to see in children’s music.
The Rock and Roll Playhouse continues to book family-concerts in the country’s most legendary rock clubs. A variety of live shows notably spans the music of Billy Joel, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and Taylor Swift, to name a few.
The Playhouse has also announced their tour across the country which began March 9. The Rock and Roll Playhouse sees dates into June, with a few stops in New York State. Brooklyn, Port Chester and Long Island sees several visits from the Playhouse.
