Danville's 'Kidchella' Concerts Debut Wednesday

DANVILLE, CA — Anyone 11 or younger is definitely too young to attend Coachella, but they are the perfect age to attend Kidchella, a series of concerts at the Danville Town Green this summer.

The first event will be held Wednesday, when children’s band Octopretzel will play children’s folk music. “Our music, comprised of original songs as well as traditional favorites, is whimsical and fun, with an underlying sensitivity for nature, animals, feelings, and connection. Best described as folk music, our songs cross generations and genres, weaving together many different musical styles, instruments and themes,” the band said of itself.

The Danville Library will also host preschool story time at 11 a.m., and craft activities after the show.

The second show will take place on Tuesday, July 11. It will feature funk and ska music by Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies, followed by an Exploration Station from the library.
