MTC Kids Jam – Big Bang Boom

Established in 2007 out of Greensboro, North Carolina, this rockin’ three-piece power pop band of long-time musicians Chuck Folds, Steve Willard, and Eddie Walker play parent-friendly educational children’s music. But this musical trio doesn’t play just any ole average music – Big Bang Boom songs are fun AND teach you things!

After 20 years of touring the grown-up stages, Folds, Willard, and Walker decided to expand their horizons and play for parents (like themselves) who want MORE from children’s music. They write songs with a pop sensibility by cleverly mixing alternative, hip-hop, rock, country, and other genres to create music that both adults AND children can enjoy.

Big Bang Boom is blowin’ up the “kindie music” world with three full-length albums, two bonus albums, and another album in production. Their song titled “Monster Under the Bed” won grand prize in the 2011 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and they wrote and performed the music for the WFMY's Emmy Award-winning Community Service program, Read 2 Succeed.

On stage is how Big Bang Boom shines best! You may have seen them perform on the prestigious Kidzapalooza stage at Lollapalooza, the Lake Eden Arts Festival (LEAF), The Tosco Music Party, Musikfest, Hangout Festival, and the NASCAR Coca Cola 600 Speed Street Festival, or at any of the countless libraries (yes, they are LOUD in the library!), schools, performing arts centers, and other events around the United States. For years, BIG BANG BOOM has even sponsored a Rock Star Summer Camp at several North Carolina Children’s Museums.

Listen to Big Bang Boom on KindieCast podcast, “Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl,” and “Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child.” Check out their albums and videos at their website.
