SRC Performer - Tom Sieling "Howl at the Moon with a Ground-Dweller Tune!"

Back by popular demand! Tom Sieling is returning to Wright Library from New York to perform his humorous and VERY participatory songs that engage the whole family - many about animals, some are even a bit athletic! Every show consists of the best, most fun, most participatory kids' songs he knows, and he knows a lot of them! He accompanies himself on guitar, banjo, and harmonica, and he uses a drum machine to keep things nice and upbeat.

This program will be held outside on the library's north lawn, weather permitting.

No registration necessary.

"FLASH! CRASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One rainy night, in the midst of a storm,
A brave little boy is cozy and warm.
He's all snuggled up, safe in his room—
When “ARROOO” howls dog, “is there room?”
Of course there's room—and all is well—
Until . . .
