Grooving for the kids

As a musical goof, Wendy Hersh has sung songs at kids' hospital visits and libraries. She's great for the preschool set!

Wacky Wendee was a HIT!

Wendee was great from the first point of contact. She asked for specifics regarding my son's 5th birthday party (theme, if he had any favorite songs, how many kids, etc).

She reconfirmed 2 days before the event to ensure that nothing had changed and to confirm her arrival time and needs (an outlet and coverage from the rain).

She showed up on time, was extremely engaging, got the kids up on their feet singing and dancing and even playing some instruments. She entertained the kids and adults for 45(ish) minutes and everyone walked away talking about how much fun they had. She even gave my son a sweet Birthday Certificate and coloring pages for all of the rest of the kids. Nice touch! I would definitely recommend Wacky Wendee to other parents looking for a fun treat to liven up their child's birthday celebration.

About

Wendee
What’s as colorful as a rainbow, happy as a clown, enthusiastic as an aerobic instructor and sings original songs for children? It's Wendee. With an open heart and a desire to reach kids through song, her brand of children's music brings a new sound and lyric variation to young ears. With musical styles ranging from country rock, blues and folk to jazz, pop, calypso and yes, even rap, each song takes on a life of its own.

Wendy Hersh, aka Wendee, has had a lifetime of musical training and performing experience.

She has performed at mall Kids Club in So Cal, festivals, libraries, preschools, LA Zoo, Magic Mountain, Balloonapalooza Las Vegas, synagogues, churches, Pottery Barn Kids, Concerts in the Park various cities and private parties

Her ease in entertaining young children, while communicating educational ideas and having fun through song are Wendee’s trademark. “The 2 to 9 year old's are my ideal audience. They love to sing and move to the rhythm. There is always something fun or important to teach kids about, so I will never run out of song ideas”.

Songs from Wendee’s CD “Animal Dance and Other Silly Songs” are downloaded all over the world and used in preschools and dance studios as well as car CD players!!

Additional booking notes

I need access to a power outlet. I bring my own sound system if needed. A long table is helpful.
