Family Concert with Alastair Moock
Tuesday, July 24, 2 pm @ First Religious Society
Alastair Moock delivers his original high-energy folk-rock music in his trademark raspy voice with foot-stomping American roots music. He is a 2013 GRAMMY Nominee for his third family album, Singing Our Way Through: Songs for the World’s Bravest Kids, as well as being a two-time Parents’ Choice Gold Medal Winner and recipient of the ASCAP Children’s Music Award
Long one of Boston’s premier folk artists, Alastair turned his attention to family music after the birth of his twin daughters in 2006. The New York Times calls him “a Tom Waits for kids” and The Boston Globe declares that, “in the footsteps of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, Alastair Moock makes real kids music that parents can actually enjoy.”
Moock's shows are rowdy, rootsy, singin’ and dancin’ fun for the whole family! This program is for all ages.
