-A Musical Adventure that will brighten YOUR summer!
Summer Reading Performance!
Join us for The Polka Dot Café, a dynamic program featuring a “colorful menu” of upbeat songs performed by talented songwriter and musician, Thad Beach.
This interactive show will have kids (and adults) moving and grooving as they explore the vibrant sounds of harmonicas, limberjacks, strings, and percussion instruments.
Audiences will be encouraged to unleash their creativity, celebrating the colorful world of music through rhythm, melody, and fun! Whether it’s the sweet sound of strings or the lively beat of a can drum, this program will spark joy, inspire imagination, and leave everyone clapping for more.
Perfect for library audiences, The Polka Dot Café is an unforgettable experience and colorful celebration of sound!
Thad always showcases a variety of instruments, such as ukulele, kazoo, bucket bass, can drums, harmonica and limberjack or perhaps a limber chicken or alien!
Always a great time with Thad’s musical expertise, humorous original songs and energetic performances!
