Shake Your Tail Feathers with the Banana Slug String Band at Monterey Bay Aquarium

Oct. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- "The Banana Slug String Band.  … sounds like Bob Dylan subbing in science class…”
- GO2 The Hot List - Family & Kids

Come celebrate our “Feathered Friends” with the rocking Banana Slug String Band at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This special Aquarium event features two Slugs’ family concerts: Saturday, Nov 19 at 1:00 p.m. and Sunday, Nov 20 at 2:00 p.m. Free with aquarium admission.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is home to a variety of birds — penguins, shorebirds and even an albatross. On this special day, get an up-close-and-personal look at these beautiful animals, find out how aviculturists train and care for them, and shake your own tail-feathers to some great Slugs’ tunes!

Banana Slug songs range from folk to rap, bluegrass to rock and feature vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, harmonica and percussion. The lively shows include music, theater, puppetry and audience participation. Biggest hits include “Dirt Made My Lunch” and “Water Cycle Boogie.”

The band’s latest album, ONLY ONE OCEAN, earned a starred review in School Library Journal and won a Parents’ Choice and a Creative Child Magazine awards.

Over the years, the band has won wide acclaim for its music; awards include the Association for Independent Music Indie Award for Best Children’s Recording, a National Parenting Publications Awards Gold Award and the Gail Rich Award. The Slugs have performed at hundreds of venues across the U.S. including the Museum of Natural History in New York City, the Montalvo Arts Center, and the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
