Turtle Crossing presents live music from family band Laughing Pizza on August 26th at 6 p.m. Laughing Pizza is a real family band that makes original music for kids, parents and loved ones alike. Their music videos are seen daily on public television stations by millions across the country, such as Atlanta’s PBA 30, Philadelphia’s WHYY, Columbus’s WOSU and San Diego’s KPBS to name a few. Their audience spans many ages, thanks to the radio-friendly pop appeal of their music, hence a broad range of family entertainment! Mom and dad, Lisa and Billy, are award winning song-writers with a #1 Billboard Dance Hit and credits with the Olsen Twins and the Cartoon Network show, Big Bag, as well as having written and produced an entire math CD called ’Make it Count’ which has been used to support the curriculum in many public school systems including Florida and Texas. They are also both classically trained musicians, having attended Juilliard and Berklee, and are former music teachers. Thirteen year old daughter, Emily, is a multi-instrumentalist who plays flute, drums, guitar and piano. Together they create fun, inspiring (and educational) music for the whole family! Laughing Pizza has appeared on the Today Show and performed at the White House three consecutive years (most recently with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers). They’ve been featured by Money Magazine, The New York Times, Family Energy Magazine, and The School Library Journal. They have also been seen on CNN, CBS Showbuzz, NY1, CN8, Fox Morning Atlanta and CBS Better Mornings. Laughing Pizza has released two DVDs and 4 CDs on their label ’Little Bean Family Entertainment’ and are the proud recipients of six Parents’ Choice Awards. Their song ’On My Way’ was chosen by Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton to be featured in the upcoming ’Julie Andrews Collection of Songs, Poems, and Lullabies’ (Little/Brown) to be released this Fall. Their live performances are energetic, interactive, dance-filled shows that get kids and parents up and moving, and have created a loyal following across the country.
