Children’s musician Laurie Berkner will return for an encore performance at the 40th annual New Jersey Lottery Festival of Ballooning.
She will play a family show at 1:30 p.m. on the festival’s opening day, Friday, July 28, at Solberg Airport, 39 Thor Solberg Road, Whitehouse Station (Readington Township), N.J.
The Princeton, N.J., native was the Festival’s first-ever kids’ concert headliner in 2017 and has since provided a fun way for families to kick off their Festival experiences.
A pioneer in children’s music, providing a soundtrack to childhood and memories that last a lifetime, Berkner celebrates the 25th anniversary of the release of her second album, “Buzz Buzz,” throughout 2023.
At her Balloon Festival show, Berkner will perform songs from “Buzz Buzz” like “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)” and “Pig On Her Head,” along with such well-loved hits as “Victor Vito,” “We Are The Dinosaurs,” “Rocketship Run,” and “The Goldfish (Let’s Go Swimming)” and more recent fan favorites like “Superhero,” “Waiting for the Elevator,” and “Chipmunk at the Gas Pump.”
She will also sing some of her newest singles from 2023 like “My Bunny Goes Hop” and “Wash It.” Berkner’s concerts showcase an array of tunes that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up and dance. Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads).
