Peanut Butter and Jams welcomes Erin Lee & Marci

The Indigo Girls meet The Smothers Brothers and sing for kids - that's Erin Lee & Marci. NYC’s hilarious-yet-hip duo for cool kids and their grownups is thrilled to return to Peanut Butter & Jams! They are back in the City of Brotherly Love with band members Tonya Carmen and Veronica Graff to celebrate loose teeth, terrible haircuts and other assorted joys (and challenges) of childhood. Disney's Family Fun Magazine calls them "irresistible!" and Time Out New York named their live performance at Madison Square Park as the “Best Family Event” of the summer.

Their original songs reflect a kid’s eye view of the world that is sometimes poignant, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, but always right on the mark. Their first CD, Someone’s Gotta Wanna Play, was awarded Best Recording 2005 by the Children’s Music Web, the national music award chosen by children. Their follow-up, Snowdance, was debuted on Rosie O’Donnell’s R Family Cruise to Alaska, and went on to win two ASCAP Awards for excellence in writing and the Family Choice Award for 2006.

Erin Lee & Marci’s music has received rave reviews and radio play from Massachusetts to New Mexico. Their wry lyrics and layered harmonies garnered them national attention as "The Indigo Girls of childhood music" (WLUW-FM 88.7, Chicago IL) and two of the freshest, funniest, and insightful performers for kids and, of course, their parents.
