Popular PBS Children's Entertainer to Perform 3 Shows in Vienna

SteveSongs, adored by millions of families throughout the country as “Mr. Steve,” co-host of the nationally broadcast PBS KIDS preschool destination, will bring his signature brand of seriously good (and seriously fun) music to the Jammin’ Java for three Valentines Day shows on Saturday, Feb. 14, for three shows at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. A full lunch and drink menu will be available; seating is general admission, first come, first seated. Tickets are available HERE. Jammin’ Java is located at 227 Maple Ave E
 in Vienna.

The concerts will take kids and families on what LA Parent calls “a marvelous musical journey” that will celebrate SteveSongs return to the area as well as the release of his eighth album, Orangutan Van.

Says Steve: “We’re excited that ‘Flat Stanley,’ and ‘Song without a Rhyme” the singles from Orangutan Van, both held the top spot on the Sirius/XM Radio Kids Place Live chart. The new album and some of its songs have been four years in the making, and I’m grinning to myself just thinking about sharing some of these new tunes, like ‘A is for Silly’ and ‘Superhero You’, with fans. We have some surprises planned for the live show, too, but I can’t give them away yet!”

SteveSongs shows are fantastic, fun-filled, kid-pleasing extravaganzas, packed with great melodies, clever stories, and over-the-top interactivity. The Jammin’ Java audience will be sure to enjoy the boisterous call and response for “Grumpy Boy”, the giggle generating, tricky audiation game in “Brush, Brush, Brush” and the heart pumping, hip hopping dance to one of Steve’s most requested new songs, “Recess Rocks”.
