Sarita Pockell and Melita Doostan, of Octopretzel fame, host this morning’s edition of the Patchwork Series of kids’ shows, featuring the theatrical singing and tomfoolery of Rude Dog Duo and the captivating cadences of Crosspulse Rhythm Duo.As members of the Sippy Cups, Rudy Trubitt and Doug Nolan traveled the country entertaining young and old alike with a unique blend of psychedelic kid-rock, crazy juggling, and a cast of colorful characters. Now, unplugged and off-leash under the name Rude Dog Duo, Rudy and Doug delight us with one part music (Rudy sings and plays acoustic guitar) and one part tomfoolery (Doug juggles, unicycles, and clowns around). Together, they create a unique family music and theatrical experience.From bells and banjos to body music, boxes, and balls, the Crosspulse Rhythm Duo can make music out of anything and everything! Bending and blending traditional and contemporary music and dance while they explore the rhythmic possibilities in the world around us, Keith Terry and Evie Ladin bring together diverse influences–jazz and world music, Appalachian banjo and step dancing traditions, and “found sound”–with delightful humor and skill. The Crosspulse Rhythm Duo offers captivating, seamless performances that both entertain and educate young audiences.Price: $8 advance / $9 door
