Description:

A Busboys and Poets in-house series! Rise + Rhyme is a weekly morning storytelling and performance series for children ages 5 and under, stay-at-home parents, and early rising families of all kinds.

Todays featured performer Liz DeRoche is "The Singing Lizard. She has been playing music all her life. Her vast musical experience includes scoring soundtracks for films, playing drums and keyboard in several bands and personalizing albums for children of all ages. Liz believes music is the key to true joy and is thrilled to be able to share her music with you and your little ones!

Nickelodeon's Parents' Picks #1 Party Entertainer in Washington, DC, The Singing Lizard is moving kids to the beat of an entirely new genre: Electro-Kindie Music! Melding eclectic electronica and soulful pop, Electro-Kindie is music the whole family can enjoy. What began as a single song written for her brother's firstborn unexpectedly set The Singing Lizard on a track to becoming one of DC's favorite children's musicians. Since then, The Singing Lizard has delivered more than 300 high-energy performances for crowds ranging from private parties of a few dozen to an audience of 400 excited families. She has performed at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, the US Senate Children's Holiday Party, the US Capitol, and various markets, festivals, and fundraisers throughout the DMV. The Singing Lizard also creates custom songs and one-of-a-kind compositions for her growing fan base.

Admission is $5 per child. Additional donations for the performer are appreciated.

Rise + Rhyme is held every Monday morning at 9:30 AM at Busboys and Poets in Hyattsville.
