Join us for Peanut Butter and Jams at World Cafe Live at the Queen as we welcome Katie Dill of Mean Lady!

Katie Dill is one half of Mean Lady and a whole lot of wonderful. Rounded out by Sam Nobles, Mean Lady is two kids from Delaware who would like to play Bonnaroo.

While their bio may be simple, their music is anything but. Every one of Mean Lady’s songs features the smooth as butter crooning of lead singer Katie. One minute she’ll transport you back to the 1950s era of Ella Fitzgerald with her jazzy piano tunes and the next you’ll swear you’re on a beach in Jamaica with some lovely reggae-inspired songs.

Either way, be sure to check out this rare opportunity to hear Newark’s own songbird play a solo show on our stage. Bringing your own hula hoop is highly encouraged!

I remember the first time I heard the Wiggles song "Hot Potato". At the time, my now 15 year old niece was a toddler. I couldn't get the song out of my head because it was so catchy. So,  I was sad to learn that after 21 years of performing together, Red Wiggle Murray Cook, Yellow Wiggle Greg Page and Purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt have decided to stop performing with the group. This year’s summer tour will be the last opportunity for families to see the four original Wiggles on stage together.

There are only two shows here in Philadelphia at the Tower on Saturday, August 18th at 11:30am and 3:00pm

You can still purchase tickets here: http://bit.ly/OUVj1s

The whole family will enjoy this four-time Grammy-nominated children’s folk/rock duo.

Trout Fishing in America will perform during one of our Light Nights. Sing along at this outdoor concert, make an illuminating craft, and enjoy other family-friendly activities.

Trout Fishing in America is the longstanding musical partnership of Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet. The name, taken from a Richard Brautigan novel, seems almost as incongruent and intriguing as a picture of this musical duo - Ezra Idlet (guitar) stands six feet nine inches and Keith Grimwood (bass), five feet five and one half inches. What is more intriguing is the musical career these two have carved out in three decades of writing, recording, and performing together.

Sharing knowledge and encouraging art has become another musical mission of TFIA. In the past few years they have developed a variety of song writing workshops for teachers and students, which illustrate how art and music come from the fabric of everyday life. Their willingness to make fun of our most annoying and sometimes disgusting habits in one song then touch our hearts with tender and passionate images of family life in the next is what makes the connection between Trout Fishing in America and their audiences so real.




This performance is weather permitting.
