When The Harmonica Pocket takes the stage, audiences don't just sit back to be entertained. They delivers highly-interactive experiences that get children (and their grownups) singing and moving in their seats.
With swinging story-songs, hula hoops and a suitcase of props, The Harmonica Pocket mixes up Music, Dance and Imagination Games into a gigglish jambalaya. Audiences are invited to become a tree on a windy day, dream up lyrics to songs and make hilarious sounds as they toss around an imaginary “Ball of Nothing.”
The acoustic show is sprinkled with wah-wah guitar, ukulele, jaw harp, washboard percussion, harmonicas and an invented instrument called a “Hinklehorn” – part kazoo, part plumbing fixtures. Zany skits, dance, hula hoop, spinning flags and a waltz with a pumpkin (in season) wrap Harmonica Pocket shows up with a thoughtful, playful bow.
Themed shows include “Get Loose With Dr. Seuss,” “Singing Thanksgiving,” and “Tall Tales from a Small Planet” and contain gentle ecological and pro-literacy messages.
The Harmonica Pocket has performed for busloads of children and adults in theaters, classrooms, libraries and festivals nationally and internationally. Put on a funny hat and come find out what everybody is smiling about.
