The Warhol and Carnegie Museum of Art welcome Dan Zanes & Friends for a not-to-be-missed family concert and dance party at the Carnegie Lecture Hall! Referred to simply by People Magazine as “The crown prince of contemporary kids’ music” and hailed by Time Magazine as one of the leading “Stars of Kindie Rock”, Zanes and his group bring a genuine, gracious, and home-spun yet modern sensibility to a wide array of classic folk tunes. Since his last Pittsburgh appearance in 2006 for the grand re-opening weekend of the New Hazlett Theater (which was co-presented by The Warhol and sold out quickly), Zanes won a best children’s album Grammy for “Catch That Train” in 2007 and will release the follow-up album, “Little Nut Tree” this fall.

“Dan Zanes has quietly become the best new thing to happen to family music in the nearly four decades since Woody Guthrie’s death.”
– Houston Chronicle

“It was one of those rare children’s concerts where the grownups clearly had as much fun as their toddlers.”
– The Boston Herald

“His albums are hip enough for Debbie Harry and Lou Reed to make cameos but accessible enough for the under—ten set to sing along…this is good ‘ol fashioned pop music for all ages.”
– esquire

This event is co-presented with Carnegie Museum of Art and WYEP Presents
