Jeremy Lyons Family Concert

"Delta-Silly" is roots music for children. With charm and irreverent humor, Jeremy Lyons entertains the whole family, introducing a new generation to the national treasure we call American folk music.

"His CD, "Delta-Silly Music for Kids" is a real gem He has a very down-to-earth folk sound that everyone loves and his acoustic guitar is just amazing."

Jeremy sings playful songs that many of us grew up with (parents tend to enjoy his shows as much as the kids) and writes a few silly numbers of his own. He likes to share a variety of instruments and sounds with his audiene. He sings, plays guitar and six-string banjo (a Peanut Butter Cup-type collision of two instruments... "you got your banjo in my guitar...!"). He also dabbles with the harmonica, ukulele, diddley bow (a sort of homemade guitar), jaw-harp (also known as the jews harp) piano, and 5-string banjo. Jeremy has performed for kids at schools, summer camps, street corners, concert halls, toy stores, birthday parties, picnics, living rooms, his front porch in New Orleans, his back-deck in Cambridge, and he's sure some other places in between. Jeremy says "Playing for young people is fun. None of the preconceived notions, none of the prejudiced "tastes" (or lack thereof) with which many of us older (and un-wiser) people tend to hamper ourselves. Hear music, clap, dance, move, sing. Simple as that. Join us!"

Jeremy has performed and led music workshops at the Boston Children's Museum and the Children's Museum of Louisiana in New Orleans, and continue to perform in schools, at school events, birthday parties and festivals throughout New England and Louisiana.
