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.
Today's featured performer:
DC-based singer/songwriter, Marsha Goodman-Wood is a well-known local performer, music teacher, and mother of three, who performs frequently in the DC/MD/VA area and occasionally further afield. Her concerts are fun, playful, and educational. As one recent reviewer noted "Goodman-Wood was no ordinary children's singer...She was very, very good. Her clear voice reminded me of Carole King, as did her very curly hair. Her stage presence was lively without being grating, a highly delicate balance for a children's performer."She has been a Washington Post Going Out Guide editors' pick and has received songwriting awards in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest. Her debut album, Gravity Vacation was praised by School Library Journal for its "nine original songs that are a unique blend of science and positive social messages encompassed within toe tapping melodies and sing-along worthy lyrics."
Marsha Goodman-Wood's brand of music is called kindie rock. Kindie stands for kids independent music, and the genre is defined by music that is entertaining for adults as well as kids.
$5 admission per child. Additional donations for the performer are much appreciated.
Rise + Rhyme is held every last Tuesday of the month at 9:30 AM at Busboys and Poets in Shirlington and every Monday morning in Hyattsville, MD and Takoma, DC.
