KidFEST: Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could

Two-time GRAMMY nominee, the East End’s own Brady Rymer makes joyful, rootsy rock ‘n’ roll for kids and families. His trademark smile lights up the band’s live performances, and it shines just as brightly in his recordings, expressing the warmth, fun and positive spirit he finds in the family experience. That infectious, happy grin gets top billing in his latest CD, “Just Say Hi!” After a decade recording and touring with childhood buddies in RCA jam band From Good Homes, Brady’s career in children’s music grew along with his family. Over the years, he assembled a kickin’ band of friends, outstanding players all, with backgrounds from Americana to Zydeco. Two kids, seven CDs and two GRAMMY nominations later (Best Children’s Album 2009 & 2014), his music has been called a “joyous, genius, melodic gift for anyone with a rock and roll soul,” and his band “might just be the best-sounding band in children’s music,” according to NPR’s All Things Considered
