KinderTunes
Presented by jack & lola

Chris Hamilton is quickly becoming one of Canada’s favourite children’s musicians by constantly performing at festivals, theatres, schools, shopping centres, libraries and anywhere else kids are. He has been performing for children since 2003 and now averages 80 shows per year.

Chris' Sticky Situations CD was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for “Outstanding Children’s Recording” and for two "Just Plain Folks Music Awards" in the Children's Album and Children's Song categories. Known for his humour, his latest CD “Boogie Child”, an all-new collection of 15 lively, original songs celebrate the sillier side of modern life for school-age kids. Hamilton crosses the musical map from Rock to Funk, Blues to Punk, Bluegrass to Beatnik Jazz, Ska and even Disco – a show not to be missed! West Vancouver Community Centre, 2121 Marine Drive, Front Lawn, 10:00am-11:30am
