The 2012 Woodlands Family Stage will be dedicated to children’s music, with performers gearing songs for the younger set. Innovative children’s music artists CLIMB (Children Learn In Music Best), always a hit at Woodlands, will return to get children moving and singing. In addition to great music for kids, there will be free and low-cost games and activities to keep children interested throughout the day, including instrument making, face painting, scavenger hunts, story time and games. Older kids will enjoy the henna booth, and great home-made food will fuel families for a beautiful early fall day of music and fun. Woodlands Folk Festival … "All music is folk music ..." |
Christine Lavin is one of the funniest, most engaging and truly human songwriters alive today. She has recorded 20 solo albums, the latest being Cold Pizza for Breakfast on Yellow Tail Records, but it is on stage that she truly shines. Audiences warm to her winning personality instantly, and within minutes, she has them laughing and singing along. In addition to decades of performances all over the US, Canada, and points beyond (Australia, Germany, Israel), she has hosted "Slipped Disks" on xm satellite radio, playing CDs slipped to her backstage by compatriots. And she is the occasional guest host for the City Folk Sunday Breakfast Show on WFUV-FM at Fordham University. 
Woodlands is always an event with a great vibe for all ages. The festival takes place outdoors on intimate landscaped, wooded and enclosed grounds -- very safe for families.
