Dan Zanes & Friends Presented by Strathmore Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 1:00 PM Music Center at Strathmore

Concerts by Grammy-award winners and 21st century family artists Dan Zanes & Friends are always cause for celebration. Dubbed "The Crown Prince of contemporary kids music" by People Magazine, kids and parents alike love joining Zanes and his "beautifully scruffy, harmonically precise, spirited, and better-than-ever band" as they sing songs in their own homespun style giving you the feeling that a bunch of wildly talented friends and neighbors just got together to throw a party . . . and everyone's invited!

This special concert will feature the WPAS Children of the Gospel Choir joining Zanes and his band on soulful tunes drawn from American gospel traditions from their critically acclaimed album, The Welcome Table: Songs of Inspiration, Mystery and Good Times, and selections from the newest album, 76 Trombones, a collection of Broadway standards including “Hello, Dolly,” “I Won’t Grow Up” and “I’m Flying.”

NOTE: Each performance is approximately 75 minutes in length with no intermission.
