Legendary children's musician Laurie Berkner will bring her "Greatest Hits" solo concert to Long Island families with a show on Sunday, June 9 at 11:00 a.m. at The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington, NY.

"After playing my winter holiday show in Huntington at the Paramount Theater for many years, I am thrilled to have been invited back to play my Greatest Hits concert this summer," says Laurie Berkner. "It's a fantastic venue, and the audience is always so enthusiastic. I can't wait to march like dinosaurs, swim like goldfish, and jump like Harry the Chipmunk with those wonderful families!"

A true pioneer in children's music, providing a soundtrack to childhood and memories that last a lifetime, Laurie Berkner will perform songs from a career spanning more than 25 years in the entertainment industry, including "Superhero," "Waiting for the Elevator," and "Chipmunk at the Gas Pump," along with such well-loved hits as "Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)," "Victor Vito," "We Are The Dinosaurs," "Rocketship Run," "The Goldfish (Let's Go Swimming)," and "Pig On Her Head." As a special treat, Laurie will also sing some of her newest singles like "My Bunny Goes Hop" and "Onyx the Octopus." Laurie's concerts showcase an array of tunes that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up and dance. Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads).
