Justin Roberts Concert

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church welcomes Evanston-based Justin Roberts, a five-time Grammy nominee and one of the founders of the modern children’s music scene. For 25 years, Justin has been creating the soundtrack to families’ lives, helping kids navigate the joys and sorrows of growing up, while inspiring parents to remember their own childhoods. Hailed by the New York Times as “the Judy Blume of kiddie rock,” Justin logs thousands of miles on the road each year, dishing out unexpectedly intelligent and fun rocking music for kids and their parents. His songs are the kind of get-stuck-in-your-head pop nuggets that draw comparisons to Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, and Paul Simon, prompting USA Today to call him “hands-down the best songwriter in the genre.”

This family-friendly event will take place at 4 p.m. on Sunday, February 19 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 939 Hinman Ave. in Evanston. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for kids. A pancake supper will take place immediately after the concert, and is free to all ticket holders. Tickets are available at https://bit.ly/stlukesjustinroberts
