Both Weekends.
Weekend One - Saturday. Weekend Two - Friday.
Thoughts: Hey! I guess this means that the Austin Kiddie Limits stage will be back! The original poster for the Fest didn't have any of the kiddie stuff, but now that the by-day listing is out, this, the QBrothers, Alphabet Rockers, School of Rock, and the Barton Hills Choir are back on the table. Even though my kids have outgrown that stuff, I'm super glad to see it back in effect!
While the lyrics are, of course, goofy as hell on these songs, the music and her voice are great! Heavy on instruments like ukulele and clarinet, but jazzy and cute with a good bit of jazz-scatting as she goes along. Wikipedia says that she was born to a Dominican mother and Puerto Rican father, and graduated from college in New York the same year that I did. She has won a bunch of awards, including two Grammy Awards for Best Children's Album in 2018 and 2020. She apparently teaches college and high school kids about music, although I'm not sure in what capacity.
The top song by a good bit is the very literal "Our Garden." 56k streams.
I want to grow some sweet basil! But a really nice little cute and silly song. Oddly, not all of the albums are available on Spotify. So you can't hear the newest disc that won a Grammy. But you definitely get the vibe here anyway. She's great!
