Family Edition
I asked The Soraya’s Programming Manager Justin Souza to put together this week’s Selects. You will find his recommendations below — music and other activities from four of The Soraya’s past artists. If you’re not keeping young ones busy at home, please share with those who are!
This week is for the little ones, tweens, teens, and young at heart! Kids (and their grownups) will enjoy music and activities that ignite wonder and creativity! From sing-alongs and homemade crafts to gravity-defying home school lessons, there’s fun for everyone to enjoy together! Whether you just need a break for yourself, or you’re racking your brain for something different to do together with your people indoors, I hope these recommendations help lighten the load just a little.
—Justin Souza, Programming Manager

The Grammy-winning Okee Dokee Brothers have families singin’!
Last seen on our stage in 2018, The Okee Dokee Brothers’ newest album, Songs for Singin’, invites us to keep the hope machine runnin’ and to go ahead and sing! These heartfelt tunes will have the whole family dancing in their homes. Also, if you haven’t seen The Okee Dokee Brothers on one of their adventures, check out their trilogy of movies: Can You Canoe?, Through the Woods, and Saddle Up.
