Join Dan Zanes, former lead singer of rock group The Del Fuegos, his Brooklyn-based band and eclectric music guests as they perform irresistible grooves inspired by all kinds of music from folk roots to early rock ‘n’ roll. Having incited a pint-sized Beatles-like mania throughout the USA, now Dan Zanes brings his rousing family gig to Sydney.

With soulful folk favourites, dance classics, West indian social music and fun catchy originals, both kids and adults can sing along in this high-spirited hootenanny.

Embraced by the music industry, and by thankful parents everywhere, Dan Zanes’ award-winning albums are hip enough for Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Debbie Harry and Philip Glass to have made cameo appearances, but accessible enough for the under tens to sing along.

All ages

Dan Zanes & Friends also play as part of Festival Kids at Parramatta. For details of this show, click here.

Dan Zanes & Friends also appear as part of Festival First Night.

Our family discovered Dan Zanes at the Melbourne International Arts Festival two years ago. Our four-year-old daughter loved it so much, we ended up going 3 times in a week. His CDs have been on high-rotation at our house ever since. Real music that gets kids and adults grooving together. Don't miss it.
