Princess Katie and Racer Steve Come To The Moore Theatre 2/27

Seattle Theatre Group (STG) presents the ultimate kids' extravaganza! Princess Katie & Racer Steve will make their Seattle debut with a rock concert for kids and their parental units performing a show at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 27th at The Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Avenue, Seattle. The NYC-based band is known as much for its creative energy, daring innovations, and positive spirit as for its terrific music.

Kids are encouraged to join Princess Katie, Racer Steve, Space on Bass, and Crash the Drummer in rocking out to "music with a message that hasn't lost its cool." The high-energy show will feature tunes from Princess Katie & Racer Steve's critically acclaimed albums, 'Songs for the Coolest Kids,' 'Fast & Feisty,' and the brand new 3rd album 'Tiny Cool' offering contemporary takes on popular music sounds ranging from jazz and swing to neo-Latin and electric rock 'n' roll to rap, West Indian, folk, country, and 12-bar blues. Princess Katie & Racer Steve use cool music, hip lyrics and zany skits to bring home messages about cultural acceptance, winning, losing, sharing, bullying, making friends, kindness, fairness, sibling appreciation, world peace, and just plain having fun being a kid.

Spontaneity and surprise are key to Princess Katie & Racer Steve's shows. You never know what they'll dream up. Princess Katie (aka Katie O'Sullivan) says, "I just can't seem to do a show unless it's special for the kids!" She often brings her giant prize wheel and spins it to choose songs or activities like "Conga" or "Freeze Dance." Princess Katie & Racer Steve might throw out inflatable soccer balls or surprise the kids with a confetti or Mylar steamer launch. Sometimes they'll hand out mini racing flags so kids can wave them every time they hear, "Go, Go, Go" in a song about Racer Steve's car racing. They'll wear "funk hats" and sunglasses for their "Hey Claire" funk song, and for "Sneakers," Katie has GIANT sneakers to wear under her princess dress.

Says Racer Steve (aka Steve Borne), "We're really working toward entertaining kids on every level, not only through the music, but also by making them laugh. Behind everything we create, there's an element of humor, and we're so happy to see that the kids, get it and laugh along with us."
