Live performance program

Special Performances

Performances are the ultimate experience for our kids, who join Songs For Kids musicians and special guests at major music festivals and concerts. In our mentorship programs, they learn self-confidence and the art of performance and get to bring their original music to life onstage in front of hundreds of family, friends, and supportive music fans.

THE SONGS FOR KIDS SPECTACULAR!

SHAKY KNEES

Songs For Kids performs onstage at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Festival each year, showcasing the singing and songwriting talents of SFK’s mentees. Special performances give kids the opportunity to be literal rockstars onstage at a nationally-known festival.

We’re looking forward to Year 8 with the festival! Shaky Knees 2022 will be held April 29-May 1 and we can’t wait to see you there!

In the meantime, checkout highlight performances from past festivals below!
