Back to the stage!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

January proved to be a busy month behind-the-scenes with lots of office clean-up, bookkeeping catch-up and meeting blahs.  Admin work is definitely not our forte, and we are dreaming about the day when some super-talented office administrator will help organize our lives (send resumes to workforfree@bobsandlolo.com). :)  Below is a snapshot of what our world looked liked for the last three weeks…

While we may not appear organized at first glance, we did manage to get a lot done this month. More than anything though, we can’t wait to get back to singing and dancing next week! Eran Norton, our booking agent superstar, has been busy as well and has jam-packed our tour calendar with lots of fabulous family events over the next few months.  We have plenty of shows in and around Metro Vancouver (see highlighted February shows below), but we are also starting to travel more too. Some of our upcoming musical adventures will take us to Salt Spring Island (BC), Albany (Oregon), Penticton (BC), Saskatoon (SK) and Calgary (AB). Be sure to check out our online calendar for a complete listing of shows – hopefully, we’ll be in your neighbourhood soon!

We also wanted to let everyone know that we are bringing in the boys for a full-band celebration at the Roundhouse Community Centre (Exhibition Hall) on February 21st. Our good friends Mario Vaira, on the guitar, and Ryan Stewart, on the bass, are guaranteed to help make this concert rock! Those of you familiar with our On Your Feet DVD will recognize these two talented musicians from the Raindrop Pop music video – check it out on YouTube here.

Other upcoming shows definitely worth checking out include Winterfest (Feb 7 -Surrey) and the Inglewood Family Concert (Feb 8 -West Van). We look forward to seeing all of you soon!


Bobs & Lolo
 

Performing at the Pemberton Festival!

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

We’re excited to make the first official announcement confirming our contract with Live Nation for the largest music event to hit Western Canada – the Pemberton Festival!

Picture the headlines…

Local children’s music duo Bobs & Lolo shares line-up with Coldplay, Jay-Z, the Tragically Hip, Tom Petty and more!

Well, we won’t really be sharing the stage with any of the big headliners, but we are performing 2 shows daily with our band over the three days of the Festival: July 25-27, 2008

When asked about bringing Bobs & Lolo onboard, Pemberton Festival Kidzone producer, Kim Smythe said:

“After recently hiring Bobs & Lolo for the Vancouver Island International Children’s Festival, I couldn’t think of a more perfect act for this event. With their focus on connecting kids to nature and their interactive and energetic shows, they are an ideal fit for families at the Festival. It also doesn’t hurt that they are both born and raised on the west coast and that their award-winning songs are guaranteed to get kids of all ages singing and dancing along! The Festival is really trying to celebrate families and make this a memorable music event for children as well as adults. Bringing Bobs & Lolo to the stage is just one of the great features being offered for the kids.”

The Kidzone is FREE with admission to the Festival which is already FREE for kids 7 years and under. Other highlights in the Kidzone include performing artists Rick Scott, Norman Foote, Robin Chestnut, Vietnamese musical act Khac Chi and ongoing features by the Vancouver Circus School, facepainting by Magical Faces and other activity stations hosted by the Pemberton Arts Council.

Yip yip yippeeeeeeeee!!!
