Recently nominated for a 2014 JUNO Award for Children's Album of the Year, Splash'N Boots are bringing their infectious, high energy live show to North Battleford.
Recently filming a brand new TV pilot with special guest star and Canadian icon, Fred Penner, the two-time recipients of Canadian Children's Group of the Year will take the stage at the Dekker Centre Saturday, April 5 at 2 p.m.
With music videos airing daily across Canada on Treehouse TV, Splash'N Boots' performance promises to get the entire family up on their feet dancing, singing, and most importantly, laughing!
Tickets are available now at www.dekkercentre.com.
"We're so excited to be coming back to the Dekker Centre," says Taes (pronounced "Tess"), the group's "Boots." "We have met so many amazing families in North Battleford so we can't wait to come back and see them, and meet some new ones."
With the JUNO Awards taking place March 24 - 30 in Winnipeg, Splash'N Boots' recently nominated album, Coconuts Don't Fall Far From the Tree - which shot up to number one on Bandcamp in its first week of being released - was written entirely with the help of their fans.
All song titles as well as the album's name were suggested and chosen by Splash'N Boots fans via the group's Facebook page. Fans even weighed in with suggestions for song lyrics throughout the writing process, making Coconuts Don't Fall Far From the Tree the ultimate band/fan collaboration.
This past December, Splash'N Boots filmed six six-minute episodes for a new children's television pilot with Back Road Productions. Canadian icon, Fred Penner - who starred in the beloved CBC hit, Fred Penner's Place, in the 1980s and '90s - guest starred as their helpful neighbour "Fred" in one of the episodes, and Splash'N Boots hope it becomes a recurring role for Penner. The episodes will be promoted to various networks in 2014.
No stranger to children 's music, live entertainment and videos (their infectious and hilarious videos air nationally on Treehouse TV), this TV pilot is a first for the duo and marks the beginning of what will surely be an exponential growth of both their popularity and their empire.
Splash'N Boots have been a force to reckon with in children's entertainment for nearly a decade, and they have brought their award-winning, high-energy live shows to more than 100,000 children worldwide since 2004. What began as a class project at Queens University has led to the release of seven CDs, two DVDs, national television exposure, and a cross Canada filmed live tour with Treehouse TV. Twice crowned Canadian Children's Group of the Year at the Sirius XM Independent Music Awards, there truly are no signs of slowing down for these two.
Splash'N Boots' growing fan base and tour schedule have always been a result of their authenticity and dedication to connecting with their audience. Their music is timeless and universal, creating opportunities for parents and children to enjoy the same entertainment, and enabling kids to feel empowered and positive about their lives and the world around them. Talented, unique and inventive, the cutting-edge duo are constantly providing their fans with new material, and truly work 24/7 at building their business, brand and fan base.
From social media, to their online kitchen jams, to their philanthropy with organizations such as Sick Kids Hospital, Splash'N Boots' brand extends far beyond the stage alone, and they continually prove to have an undeniably unique and fresh approach to children's entertainment.
