The acclaimed indie kids' singer Justin Roberts will perform at The Jewish Museum on Sunday, October 14 at 2:00 pm.

Justin will be joined by the Not Ready for Naptime Players, featuring Liam Davis (electric guitar/keyboards/vocals) and Gerald Dowd (drums).

Tickets are $20 per adult; $15 per child; $17 adult Jewish Museum family level member; and $13 child Jewish Museum family level member. This concert is for children ages 2 to 7.

Called "the Paul McCartney of kids' music" by USA Today, Justin Roberts logs thousands of miles on the road each year, leading some to call him the hardest working man in children's show business. With numerous national awards and recognition and a devoted fan base, Justin dishes out unexpectedly intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents. Jungle Gym, his seventh CD, visits the collective memories of childhood - the joys of trick or treating, gym class parachutes and sleepovers, and the magic stillness of snow days. He has played at such renowned venues and festivals as Symphony Space, National Geographic Live, the Getty Museum and Lollapalooza, and has appeared on The Today Show and Nick Jr. TV. Justin has received five Parents' Choice Gold Awards and five National Parenting Publications (NAPPA) Gold Awards, and been included among Amazon.com's "Top 10 Children's CDs of the Year" three times.
