Like a scene from “Groundhog Day,” the event repeats itself over and over. Bass and drums pound out the beat in perfect unison. Bodies spring to their feet and rush the stage; jumping, dancing and bouncing off each other like bumper cars. The concertgoers behave like children. Which is no surprise because they are children, participating in the kiddie mosh pit found at nearly every Justin Roberts concert.

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.

Justin has performed in front of millions of people on The Today Show, he’s featured on Nick Jr. TV, and his song “Get Me Some Glasses” was featured on a World Series broadcast. He’s also garnered kudos and raves from national media including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, People, Entertainment Weekly, and the Chicago Tribune.

Watch his video below - “Obsessed by Trucks.”

Performance Time: 12:00 p.m.

Loren Hoskins and Kevin Hendrickson are the pirate rockers providing all of the songs and music for Disney Junior’s #1 series, “Jake and the Never Land Pirates.” The songwriting and performing duo pop up throughout the series as animated characters, Sharky and Bones, and musically comment on the action much like a Greek chorus. The duo also star as Sharky and Bones, aka The Never Land Pirate Band, in live action pirate rock music videos featured at the end of each episode.  Featured songs include “Hot Lava,” “Roll up the Map,” and “Talk like a Pirate.”

Best known as the founding members of the Portland, Oregon-based pirate rock band Captain Bogg & Salty, Hendrickson and Hoskins have been creating swashbuckling pirate rock music for kids of all ages for more than a decade, establishing themselves as the pirate rock experts, producing four children’s albums, including “Emphatical Piratical,” “Pegleg Tango,” “Prelude to a Mutiny” and “Bedtime Stories for Pirates.” 

Drawing on their love for the classic Disneyland attraction Pirates of the Caribbean and of pirate-themed literature such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island,” Hendrickson and Hoskins have always strived to produce children’s music that encourages kids and adults alike to find their very own inner pirate.

For the pirate rockers, who credit much of their creative inspiration to Walt Disney’s classic characters, the invitation to set sail again under the Disney flag with “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” is truly a dream come true.

Watch their video below - “Talk Like a Pirate.”

Performance Time: 1:00 p.m.

China Anne McClain stars as Chyna Parks, an 11-year-old musical prodigy who attends high school as part of the prestigious A.N.T. (Advanced Natural Talents) program, in the Disney Channel Original Series “A.N.T. Farm.”

McClain was discovered in 2005 by a music executive who heard her sing and encouraged director Rob Hardy to audition her for his feature film “The Gospel.”  China’s role in the film caught the attention of actor/director/producer Tyler Perry who ultimately cast her in his series “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.”  Soon thereafter, McClain landed a role in Perry’s feature film “Daddy’s Little Girls.”

McClain is passionate about music, enjoys playing the guitar and is learning to play piano and violin. She and her older sisters, Sierra and Lauryn, formed a singing group and are signed by Hollywood Records.

In her free time, McClain is an avid reader, who favors The Hunger Games and the Twilight book series.  She also likes to crochet clothes for her American Girl doll.  McClain’s favorite possession is a custom Fender Stratocaster guitar, a gift from Nick Jonas.

Watch her video below - “Calling All The Monsters.”
