The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is proud to bring a sensory-friendly rootsy rock ‘n’ roll family concert to the stage at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway.
Plan a daytrip for a children’s summer camp or bring the entire family to rock out with two-time Grammy nominees Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could singing songs that celebrate children of all abilities.
“Presented as part of our sensory-friendly performance series, the concert environment at the UCPAC is designed and adjusted to offer a relaxed and safe place for children and adults with sensory sensitivity, developmental and learning differences to enjoy the performing arts,” said Freeholder Chairman Mohamed S. Jalloh. “Inspired by children, Brady Rymer and his band deliver songs that engage audiences of all ages. The Freeholder board is proud to offer an opportunity for families to experience a music concert that celebrates, motivates, and empowers children of all abilities.”
Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could "might just be the best-sounding band in children's music," according to NPR's All Things Considered. First class, all-American roots/rock with a feel-good R&B foundation is Rymer's calling card - he creates a warm, optimistic, rollicking back-porch vibe that gets children and their families up and dancing, and smiling from ear to ear. Kids love the energy and Rymer's magnetic, good-times-guy charm, and his musicianship is something even the most discerning music-loving parent can appreciate.
