Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child: 20th Birthday Show

For over fifteen years Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child has been providing the soundtrack to thousands of childhoods around the country.  The show plays “indie music for indie kids,” including the best of music aimed at kids like Dan Zanes, Moona Luna, Lunch Money, Caspar Babypants, and They Might Be Giants, right along side kid-friendly tracks from the likes of The Ramones, Ella Fitzgerald, Brian Eno, Andrew Bird, Fishbone, and more. One thing it’s not is your typical kids’ programming.

This week, we’re continuing to celebrate twenty years of the show, so we’ll hear songs from Laurie Berkner, Josh Lovelace, Milkshake, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Shonen Knife, The Replacements, Sara Hickman, Alejandro Escovedo, and more! It’s indie music for indie kids.
