But this group doesn’t play just any ole average music…. GET THIS! These dynamic dads play parent-friendly children’s music!!!! That’s right! After 20 years of touring, Chuck, Steve and Eddie decided to expand their horizons and play for parents (like themselves) who want MORE from children’s music. They write songs with a pop sensibility by cleverly mixing alternative, hip-hop, pop, country, and other genres to create music that parents AND children can relate to and enjoy!! Think of it as a “kid-appropriate frat party.” WHAT ENERGY!

Enjoy the live music, a 28' tipi and the Tipi Storytellers, games, crafts, Rita's Italian Ice, S'mores and so much more.  Over 1,500 people enjoy this event each year as they register for summer programs and discover what makes Southlake the hottest place in Texas.
