Take a Scoop of Toe-Tapping Tunes, Add a Dash of Silliness, Then Rattle and Strum


That’s The Recipe for Fun at Horizon Stage’s Munchkin Matinee on January 27
                                                                                                                                                      
 The recipe for fun?  We take a scoop of toe-tapping tunes, add a dash of silliness, then rattle and strum until we’re ready to fall over. Rattle and Strum gets kids dancing, singing, and having fun.  With Heather on guitar and Steve on drums, this highly interactive Calgary-based band leaves nobody out, and is known for original music that parents enjoy too. Bring your toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners to experience Rattle and Strum, Horizon Stage’s Munchkin Matinee on Monday, January 27 at 10 a.m.

Rattle and Strum’s self-titled first children’s album was released in 2013. It received a prestigious Parents’ Choice Gold Award, their highest stamp of approval, along with nominations for a Western Canadian Music Award and a Canadian Folk Music Award. Their second album, Ants in My Pants, was released in 2018. It included exciting new original tunes about wild turkeys, marshmallows, sneezing, pocket contents, the mysterious superhero Meatball Man, and of course, ants in pants!

Armed with their catchy tunes, great grooves, visual props, and an incredible sense of fun, a Rattle and Strum concert is an experience that children, and their grown-ups, won’t soon forget! The husband and wife duo has performed many times at the Arden Theatre and the International Children’s Festival in St. Albert. In 2019 they played on the Community Stage at Spruce Grove’s Canada Day Celebration and we’re excited to welcome them back!

Rattle and Strum is not a show that kids need to sit still and be quiet at; dancing and singing along is encouraged. Come play with Rattle and Strum at Horizon Stage on Monday, January 27 at 10 a.m. Their concert will be 50-60 minutes long and is recommended for everyone age 6-and-under and adults who are young at heart.
