Banana Slug String Band
Is a pair of lovable musicians (alias Doug Dirt & Airy Larry), songwriters & educators who blend music, theater, puppetry & audience participation to create a lively learning environment. Their music includes more than 100 original songs ranging from rock to reggae, folk to funk. A common lyrical thread runs throughout their music – the value of taking care of the earth. Program themes are:
Living With the Earth – a discovery of the important relationship between animals, plants & the earth.
The Awesome Ocean – based on the Slugs' award winning tape, “Slugs at Sea” it focuses on the habitats of the West Coast.
A Penguin Parade – from feathers to furs and scales to skin, this journey into the world of ecology raises awareness about the diversity of animals and their habitats.
The Three Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – empowers children to make earth-friendly choices.
Singing In Our Garden – a wildly interactive program focuses on garden and plant science songs. Do the decomposition break-down blues, meet the Plantman (a real super-hero), Ms. Dirt, and boogie down to the 6 Plant Parts dance.
