Performance Options
Mr. Singer & the Sharp Cookies - Band
​
Concerts and entertainment for kids and families!
​
For decades Mr. Singer led Chicago’s most energetic band that rocks for kids- at the zoo, at museums, at nightclubs (and dayclubs) and anywhere else that families with young children like to rock out together. The songs are clever originals augmented by some punky favorites all amplified by a bigger-than-life performer and his band mates Jason Steel on the rockin’ upright bass and Jose Marro on drums. Each show has its own surprises- from puppets to special guests, to a suitcase full of instruments. And it’s hard to find more fun than a five-year- old and their parents tuning in and dancing their hearts out! Perfect for parties and special occasions.
​
Most sets are 45-minutes of performance with ample time before and after to share high-fives and conversation.
Pricing for additional musicians and discount rate for multiple sets available upon request.
​
Mr. Singer - Solo
​
Arriving with his guitar and kick drum suitcase, Mr. Singer comes to your event dressed like the rock star he is! He gets the party going with kids clapping, singing, playing rhythm games, and dancing. For the big jams, everyone grabs something cool from the huge Suitcase Full O’ Instruments! His own fun originals, favorite children’s classics, and even the most unexpected rock’n’roll faves are part of the show! Parents just can’t resist joining in! The party finishes up with a rollicking farewell sing-a-long. It’s a blast every time!
​
Mr. Singer & Jason Steel on the Rockin’ Upright Bass - Duo
​
When Mr. Singer & Mr. Steel come to rock, expect great songs and great interaction! Jason and his bulldog fiddle more than doubles the performance energy with low low tones, cool harmonies, groovy percussion and by leading the uplifting audience participation. The resulting hands-on hootenanny brings everyone together for a high-energy sing along/dance party/jam session!
​
You won’t want this mighty duo to leave!

live Show press
“Mr. Singer is the best around: a talented guitarist whose folksy music set featured music you could bob your head to, a kids’ musician who was more Springsteen and less Old MacDonald. Singer’s clearly a man who loves to perform; he rocked every tune, brandishing his guitar and jumping to the beat. The children adored him, and the mamas and nannies in the audience certainly gave him their rapt attention.”
- Elizabeth Shapiro of Chicagoist
“Mr. Singer plays to a packed house every week at the Lincoln Park Zoo. His young fans are captivated by his colorful costumes and interactive shows.”
– John Garcia, ABC News
​
“Mr. Singer’s weekly sing-a-long at the Lincoln Park Zoo has all the hallmarks of a rock show- packed, loud and most definitely standing room only. It’s one of Chicago’s drop-in-gems.”
- Chicago Parent Going Places
​
“A Sharp Cookies show is undeniably fun for everyone in the crowd, I can count on Mr. Singer to sell out the club!”
- Gomez: Owner of the Beat Kitchen home of the popular Concerts for Kids serries.
​
“Energetic and talented, Mr. Singer and the Sharp Cookies are not to be missed!”
- Jenna Murfin: The Old Town School of Folk Music
