BOSTON GLOBE: Music for kids (and parents too) at Regent Theatre
Feb 16, 2013
By Nancy Shohet West Globe Correspondent / February 13, 2013 As both a parent and a music teacher, Josh Shriber was well aware of the problem with much of the music to which kids listen. If it’s billed as children’s music, he says, adults often find it irritating. And if it’s mainstream music that kids choose to listen to themselves, it’s often thematically or lyrically inappropriate. So the mission of Shriber’s band, Josh and the Jamtones, is fairly straightforward. “We try to create a sound where Mom and Dad don’t want to throw the CD out the window after the first listen,” the Newton resident said.
