Big Bang Boom Kicks Off Roswell Family Series

ROSWELL, GA -- The Roswell Family Series will start later this month with two performances by Big Bang Boom at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center.

Kids will love the high-energy show that sparks lots of singing and dancing to all-time favorite songs, as well as clever original tunes that mix alt-rock, hip-hop and country.

Chuck Folds (younger brother of Ben Folds), Steve Willard and Eddie Walker are the trio of talented dads who make up award-winning Big Bang Boom.

The band has been praised by Parenting magazine for producing “kids’ music you won’t be embarrassed to blast in the carpool line,” and they won the prestigious Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for their children’s song “Monster Under the Bed” in 2011.

With three CDs of original music to their credit, they have performed at the celebrated Kidzapalooza stage at the Lollapalooza Music Festival, as well as Kindiefest, Musikfest, and many others.

Shows take place at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday, August 26.
