Because Kids Get To Rock Too!

Redwood City is pleased to offer its kids music series for the seventh year! Four live music concerts on Sundays throughout the summer will be MCd by Andy-Z, the Master of Music and Play, bringing his high energy to Courthouse Square for the joy of kids and adults alike. This series will provide a safe and fun environment for kids to dance and enjoy live music. Your family will be thrilled to enjoy free live music, along with an inflatable play-land, and more!

Octopretzel

Octopretzel is... a tangle of five Bay Area musicians, educators and parents - friends that originally came together for backyard jams.  Over the years, as we developed our careers and grew our families, the music we created together continued to inspire us, and thus we formed our band.  The name Octopretzel was coined by one of our then 4yr old kids, and it stuck.

Emcee "MC" Andy Z

Redwood City-born kindie-rock artist Andy Z literally feels right at home MC'ing kids rock concert series, Kidchella. In addition to performing live for hundreds of audiences every year, and at such prominent national music festivals as Strings Music Festival in Colorado and Austin City Limits Festival in Texas, he has guest deejayed on the national radio shows Spare The Rock Spoil The Child and Hilltown Family Variety Show. As a celebrity, he appeared with Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) at the joint event "Stars In The Park", and with San Francisco Giants mascot “Lou Seal”, leading the Highlander Little League Opening Day crowd in a rousing rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”.
