Songs for Kids who Fly with their Minds
Tim and Laura, The Battersby Duo, started their career several decades ago as Elementary Teachers.They started writing songs for Children in their classrooms to help the Kids learn, and soon realized that their goofy and wacky approach to teaching was having a profound impact on their Students. The Kids were actually learning, and having fun at the same time. 9 months later The Battersby Duo was born...they quit their day jobs and went on the road...nowadays their classroom exceeds 2 million Kids a year.
The Battersby Duo,the incomparable Musical Comedy Team for Children and Families, are a "banquet of silliness, designed to please the most refined of juvenile palates," says The American Library Association. Their concerts are a mixture of high energy "bee"-bop, with dashes of do-wop and liberal doses of fun. "Shamelessly goofy and a must-see," writes Mike Joyce of The Washington Post." Hilarious fun," says The St Petersburg Times....."a guaranteed hit," says Wolf Trap. The Battersby's are naturals for our audiences. Meanwhile down the lane at Sesame Street, the honchos there opine that, "The Battersby's are a top notch Duo with enough flexibility and versatility to entertain any children's group." The icing on the proverbial cake comes in the form of Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, who writes." We will remember with pleasure that The Battersby's are a part of our neighborhood." Senator Bob Graham calls The Battersby Duo, "A National Treasure."

Winners of 3 Parents Choice Awards and an Emmy, The Battersby Duo is considered to be one of the finest Musical Comedy Teams for Children and Families in the USA today.Perfoming to more than 2 million Kids each year, Tim and Laura tour Nationally, appearing in Theatres, Schools, Festivals, TV and Radio. They've performed at The Kennedy Center, The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center,Wolf Trap's Theatre in the Woods, The Marcus Center in Milwaukee, The Filene Center, The Spoleto Festival in Charleston SC, Sesame Street, The Today Show on NBC, and have appeared at The White House 6 times, performing for The President and First Lady. They have written more than 400 songs in their 30+ year career.
