NEW YORK, NY – The kids indie rock band Josh & The Jamtones will perform at the Jewish Museum on Sunday, December 7 at 11:30 am. Fronted by singer/songwriter Josh Shriber and drummer/producer Patrick Hanlin, their interactive concerts get crowds of any age moving their bodies and singing along. Josh seamlessly blends roots/reggae/ska stylings, feel-good pop, folk punk, country ballads, New Orleans-style street music and kid-friendly improv comedy. The concert will feature songs from The Jamtones’ two critically-acclaimed family records, Jump Up and Bear Hunt!
Tickets are $18 per adult; $13 per child; $15 adult Jewish Museum family level member; and $11 child Jewish Museum family level member. This concert is for children ages 3 to 8.

Based in Boston, Josh & The Jamtones have opened for the popular children’s band The Wiggles, and performed live at notable events such as the Life is Good Festival, Kindiefest at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Boston’s Earthfest. The band has multiple chart-topping singles played on Sirius XM’s Kids Place Live and has sold over 40,000 records in just over two years as a band. “Our goal with the Jamtones is to create a totally unique first-music experience that parents can enjoy and share together with their kids,” says Josh Shriber.
