Laurie Berkner

Get ready to sing, dance, and play along as Laurie Berkner, the “queen of kids’ music” (People), brings her beloved family-friendly songs to Ravinia this summer! A pioneer of the “kindie” rock movement, Laurie’s music is anything but ordinary children’s fare—it’s joyful, imaginative, and irresistibly fun for both kids and parents alike.

Laurie’s journey from rock bands to beloved children’s artist was unexpected, but she quickly found that writing music for kids unlocked a whole new level of creativity. “The more I started working on material for children, the more I realized that it opened up creativity in me that I never knew I had,” she says.

Now, with a catalog of timeless hits like “We Are the Dinosaurs” and “The Goldfish,” Laurie has earned a dedicated following, creating songs that kids love and parents actually enjoy hearing on repeat. Her high-energy performances turn every concert into an interactive, feel-good celebration—one that will have the whole family singing along.
