Concerts are back for 2016. Not sure which series just yet, but there will be at least a handful.

If you do not have a child who watched Nick Jr. on the reg, you probably will not know who she it. DO NOT YOUTUBE HER! For your sanity, please listen to me. JUST from Googling her name, my head has now been invaded.
If you must, may I recommend such hits as "I'm Me, and You're You," Smile," I'm Gonna Catch You," "Fast and Slow (The Rabbit and the Turtle)" and my personal favorite "Family."
Laurie Berkner is far worse than any Sesame Street show. She is a onetime indie rocker chick wannabe who fell into kids' music because she found it much easier to write (true story). We should just stop there and be done, but in the interest of driving home the point... her melodic aspirations and ideas are pretty uninteresting, yet they often tend to outpace the capability of her thin singing voice. She nails the "okay, let's just get through this" experience common to parents who have to repeatedly listen to kids' music, but without any of the timeless/valuable bits that good kids' music provides once in a while (see: Sesame Street). Bouncy yet uninteresting, and ultimately just excessively painful to listen to with repeat exposure, her stuff is empty musical calories. Annoyance without the value to justify the suffering. She makes Raffi look like Rachmaninoff. My kids thankfully never liked her very much, though a great many kids and some adults inexplicably do.The Hessian said:Should I run for my life then like I do for Sesame street and other such shows

So yes, run for your life. Run for the same reason you'd run from the gigantic flying insects in Peter Jackson's King Kong remake that aggressively pounced on the Skull Island explorers' heads, slamming their proboscii through the men's skulls and slurping out their brains. Because "earworm" does not do justice to the irreparable violence Laurie Berkner's music will wreak upon your cognitive well-being.
