Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players
Bio:
Justin Roberts is truly one of the “all-stars” of the indie family music scene. He logs thousands of miles on the road each year, leading some to call him the hardest working man in children’s show business. With national awards and recognition and a devoted fan base, Justin and his wonderfully named bandmates “The Not Ready for Naptime Players” dish out unexpectedly intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents.
Watch Justin’s video “Obsessed by Trucks.”

Monster.”

Shane Harper
Bio:
Establishing himself as an artist with a quadruple threat—singer, actor, dancer, songwriter— all before the age of ten, Shane Harper is a rising talent who continues to evolve with each new project.
Shane Harper’s self-titled album features the Top 10 hit “One Step Closer,” which he premiered on Disney Channel’s TV series Good Luck Charlie (where he has a recurring role,) and So Random. Shane’s second single “Rocketship” was a Top 20 hit on Radio Disney.
Harper began dancing at the age of nine, and began competing in regional amateur dance competitions until the age of 14 when he began working in the entertainment industry. Since then, he has appeared in the Nickelodeon’s show Dance on Sunset and So You Think You Can Dance, as well as being a principal dancer in High School Musical 2.
All of the above combined with Harper’s upcoming tour dates and the release of his new EP has made Shane a major talent to watch out for!
