Filed under Product Reviews, Reviews
I was contacted recently by a media group about The Laurie Berkner Band and Soundcheck, Walmart’s original performance series that allows you to get up close and personal with your favorite performers. This month they are featuring The Laurie Berkner Band. This is a very fun way to get to know some of the most popular artists and their music just a little better. Behind the scenes looks and interviews with Laurie and the band are available on the Soundcheck site!
You really should visit the site to learn all about this great feature!
My readers have an opportunity to win a Laurie Berkner/Soundcheck gift pack, courtesy of Unilever! Just click over to the site and watch a bit of the Soundcheck featuring The Laurie Berkner Band. Then come back here and leave a comment telling me something that appeals to you or your children about this performance group!
The contest will end on Friday August 29th.

Monique Rizzo on Thu, 21st Aug 2008 9:38 am
One of the things my daughter loves about this band, is the props they use. Like paper pigs on their heads (When their singing the pig on your head song) or Sitting under a big tree, or eggs for the chicken and egg song. She loves that!

I’m actually writing in for my nephew. I have seen him watch her videos and listen to her cd’s and grab a play guitar and re-inact the whole thing. He has really developed a love for music by listening to her. He saw her in concert too!
Cindy Phillips on Fri, 22nd Aug 2008 2:18 pm

Amy's Blah, Blah, Blogging on Sun, 24th Aug 2008 11:37 am
Oh my, the question would be better served what does not appeal to us about Laurie Berkner. Our two year old absolutely loves her! As soon as she saw the computer screen she said, “Laurie!!” Her songs can be regularly heard through our house as we dance around. Such fun! My little girl would love this cd as she loves her first!
Elizabeth M. on Sun, 24th Aug 2008 2:05 pm
I think she is so refreshing amongst children’s artists. She’s upbeat and positive and seems to really “get” kids.
Jo on Sun, 24th Aug 2008 5:17 pm
My daughters have loved Lori Bertner ever since they saw her on Jack’s Big Music Show on Noggin

Laurie Berkner’s music is fun and engaging. I don’t mind listening to this with my kids.
Jodi on Mon, 25th Aug 2008 7:45 am
We have one of Laurie’s CDs and we just love it. The music is peppy and imaginitive, but not annoying to adults like lots of kids’ music is.
Steve Scott on Mon, 25th Aug 2008 10:25 am

We are huge Laurie Berkner fans. I can actually play her music in the car and not feel like banging my head against the window! We Are the Dinosaurs and Buzz Buzz are great to get my kids up and moving even during our cold snowy winters.
