JOSH AND THE JAMTONES Come to NYC

The kids indie rock band Josh & The Jamtones will perform at the Jewish Museum on Sunday, October 9 at 11:30 am. Fronted by singer/songwriter Josh Shriber, their interactive concerts get crowds of any age moving their bodies and singing along. Josh seamlessly blends roots/reggae/ska stylings, feel-good pop, folk punk, country ballads, New Orleans-style street music and kid-friendly improv comedy. The concert will feature songs from The Jamtones' critically-acclaimed family records, Rocksteady and Jump Up! as well as tunes in celebration of the fall Jewish holidays from the album, Jammin with Jew Vol 1 & 2.

Tickets are $16 general; $13 Jewish Museum family level members. This concert is for children ages 3 to 8. Adults are asked to accompany their children.

The band has multiple chart-topping singles played on Sirius XM's Kids Place Live. "Our goal with the Jamtones is to create a totally unique first-music experience that parents can enjoy and share together with their kids," says Josh Shriber. Rocksteady was named one of the twelve best kids and family albums by Fids and Kamily.
