Overview

Hello parents and friends, I provide a 45 - 60 minute positive live interactive concert for children ages 2 to 10. Themes include friendship, never giving up, character, feelings, and more. I include instruments, pom-poms, leis, jump ropes, hula hoops, cool sun glasses, and more. My main goal is for children and adults alike to move, make noise, and have fun together.

Wholesome, fun, and positive! Exactly what we needed!

Mr. Hyson performed his interactive and inspirational concert to a small crowd of young children during our daughter's first birthday. It was great to see the little ones put down the gadgets and get up to sing, dance, and play.

Good communication
Professional
Easy to work with
Patient and great with kids!

Easy recommendation for anyone looking for entertainment at a kids party. Easy 5 stars!

Birthday Party Fun!

Mr. Hyson pulled my shy girl out of her shell. She sang and danced along with 20 of her friends. Mr. Hyson kept the party going and the kids interested the entire time! Second time client, will definitely be using him again and again!

What to expect

I offer a 45-60 minute full concert for the whole family. I play George, my guitar, as well as use upbeat background tracks during my performance. I like to instill positive messages, as well as give children opportunities to express themselves through, speaking, dance, singing, and acting. I use a variety of props including pom-poms, jump ropes, leis, real instruments, inflatable instruments, cones, hula hoops and cool sun glasses. You can also expect the children to use teamwork as they compete against me during the song, Ice Cream....it's going to be loud!!

I've performed for numerous birthday parties in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia areas. I have also performed for the Columbia Academies, Montgomery County Public Libraries, Church of the Redeemer, Anne Arundel Libraries, Lake Forest Mall, and many other venues. I look forward to celebrating your next party and or event.

Additional booking notes

I ask that adults be active in the performance and encourage the children as they attempt certain tasks. I would also like to have a 3-4 foot table available for my system. Other than that.... ENERGY!!!!!

Influences and inspiration

A huge influence on my music career is Bill Brennan (Billy B). He inspired me as a teenager when he performed shows where a taught. He uses music to teach children about natural science concepts. The main thing that influences me are the children I work with. Most of my songs come from interactions with children, whether it's my own children, nieces, nephews, or my students.

Setup requirements

Stage area about 15 wide and 10 feet deep.
