Karen K and the Jitterbugs

Bug Out! with Karen K in her imaginary backyard fort where she makes music with her friends, the Jitterbugs: Bumble (the bee who doesn’t like to sting); Stinky (loves playing outside, refuses baths), Hop (lots of energy, not a lot of self control); Slug Bug (needs a LOT of naps); and her best friend, Lightning (thinks he’s a super hero…Karen believes him). In this crowd-engaging, theatrical show, Karen takes audience members young and old on a musical adventure exploring themes of kindness, friendship and downright fun. The Jitterbugs’ will have kids up and dancing to Karen’s catchy, upbeat, genre-swirling songs, while leaving adults asking for more.

One of the most buzzed about bands for families and kids on the East Coast, Karen K & the Jitterbugs have received multiple national awards, including a Parents Choice Fun Stuff Award and Best KidVid of 2014 for their smash hit video (I Woke Up in a) Fire Truck. Music from both of their albums – Pancakes for Dinner and Big Ol’ Truck can be heard on radio stations across the country.
