Vanessa Trien
Sponsored by the PNC Grow Up Great concert series
Boston-based singer-songwriter and children's performer, Vanessa Trien, has become a local rock star among the young and young at heart. The "Nessa Groupies" sing and dance in the aisles at her packed shows and can't get enough of her two award-winning children's CDs, Carnival Day and Hot Air Balloon. As BostonChildrensMusic.com puts it, "Vanessa's shows are perfect. It's hard to explain and I can't quite put my finger on what it is they do differently, but whatever it is, it really gets the kids (and parents) excited!'

Steve Pullara & His Cool Beans
Sponsored by the PNC Grow Up Great concert series
There is something about a Steve Pullara show that connects with kids in a special way. Maybe it's the infectious joy in his performance. Maybe it's the way he brings together music and art and kids. Maybe it's the good feeling he gives their parents. Or, it could be his love for all things Italian! No matter what it is, you can be sure that Steve Pullara & The Cool Beans Band are always a friendly, fun experience for the entire family!
