Laurie Berkner

We are not dinosaurs, but we are podcasters, and we are talking with kindie rock icon Laurie Berkner on Episode 19 of “Load-In Through the Back!”

From performing in preschool classrooms and children’s birthday parties to selling out theaters, arenas, and punk-rock clubs (oh, you’ll hear about it), Laurie Berkner’s three-decade-long life in music has been one unlike many others. 

You would be hard-pressed to find a more relevant and respected figure in Children’s Music than Laurie Berkner, with a catalog featuring such classic hits as “We Are the Dinosaurs,” “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” and “Rocketship Run.”

In this interview we discuss Laurie’s influences prior to the Laurie Berkner Band, the art of touring and performing for children, the Talking Heads, and more.
