Brooklyn's premier kindie rock trio.www.roliepolieguacamole.comRolie Polie Guacamole lays claim to being the one of the hardest working bands in kids music, and that just might be true. Theyve released six albums and played well over 2,000 shows nationwide since hitting the boards with their first performance in 2007, receiving top picks from Boston.com, Time Out NY Kids, and Time Out Chicago. (It must be in the genes, for founding band member Frank Gallos dad is none other than veteran kids musician Lou Gallo.)Winner of the prestigious Parents Choice® and NAPPA Awards, Rolie Polie Guacamole has developed a smart, parent-friendly musical style that dresses up original tunes and classic covers with vibrant harmonies and deft instrumental layers, plugging in a sizzling electric current of rhythm that lights up lyrics humming with relevance and humor.Wrote Trevor Gage of Bostons WERS-FM, When you think of kids music, what do you see? Freddy Spaghetti?
A jaded hipster in a colorful costume alluding to some bizarre form of Brazilian anime? Rolie Polie Guacamole skips stones over those clichés and splashes onto the scene with a technically savvy and imaginative sound that speaks to children and reminds their parents of the golden age of 1990s music.
Rocksteady, ska, pop punk, and grunge all make appearances in the liner notes that accompanyThe son of actress Kate Vereau and musician Lou Gallo, Frank Gallo received his SAG card at the ripe age of two, appearing in commercials and in Nickelodeons Pete and Pete, Prince of Tides, Scenes from a Mall, Mighty Aphrodite, House of Buggin, and Six Degrees of Separation. By the time he reached middle school, Frank had phased out acting and started his own band. He recorded his first full-length album when he was 15 and has continued to produce records ever since.
Andrew Tuzhilins parents moved to the U.S. from the former Soviet Union. Andrew grew up in the New Jersey and New York suburbs, attending Waldorf School in Chestnut Ridge, New York and Fair Lawn High School in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, where he met Frank Gallo. In 2006, after study at Bostons famed Berklee College of Music, Andrew joined Frank in Brooklyn, where they wrote the first batch of songs for what would become Rolie Polie Guacamole.

Jesse Jukebox is on a mission to inspire children and their parents to be creative, compassionate, freethinking, and a little bit smarter than he is (which is pretty darn smart). Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Jesse accomplishes his mission by writing and recording original childrens music. He puts on amusing, thrilling, and interactive live shows that entertain children and adults alike. Did we mention he is great at talking about himself in third person?
After graduating from Berklee College of Music, instead of mastering the art of Jazz and shredding guitars, Jesse dedicated his time to writing, recording, and performing fun and catchy childrens music for families.
In 2012, Jesse recorded a childrens album with (name drop alert) multi-platinum award winning producer, Michael Seifert, titled, Jesses Jukebox In 2017 he released his follow up childrens album, Jesses Jukebox: Theres Music Everywhere. He is currently working on his third album to release in late 2019!
Jesses passion for working with children led him to receiving his Masters in Early Childhood Education from Ursuline College in 2015. He applies the skills he learned from there to give high energy, interactive, early childhood music classes that the whole family gets into.
Jesse is driven by Rock and Roll, The Blues, Batman, Electric guitars, Silliness, Funky Bass Lines, Pizza, Corny jokes, Loud Drums, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Banjos, Outer Space, and all things awesome.
