About Roberts:

Justin Roberts and his bandmates, The Not Ready for Naptime Players, dish out unexpectedly intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents.

In 1998, he released his first CD, "Great Big Sun." Sesame Street Magazine named the CD "Best Music Gift of the Year."

Roberts' music has been compared to Elvis Costello, the Fountains of Wayne, Paul Simon and Nick Lowe. He has performed around the country and has received raves from national media, including the New York Times, Newsweek, People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and the Chicago Tribune.

Thanks for the info, Kristi - it sounds interesting. But why in the world does a concert geared toward kids start at 7:30 p.m.????

I was wondering the same thing. I'd love to bring Jack but that's his bedtime. I still might bring him. He loves music so maybe he'd be fine staying up late that night. I'll have to think about it. Sounds fun, though.
