Charlie Hope (kids’ singer/songwriter)

What:

Stork’s Nest is pleased to present Charlie Hope in Concert on Thursday, August 26th at 6 pm. This free community event is open to all, and children are encouraged to attend!

Charlie Hope is an award winning children’s singer/songwriter. Her songs are loved by children, raved about by bloggers and affirmed by award committees. Her fresh approach to children’s music stems from the many years she has spent with children - from receiving her degree in Art Therapy with Children to the preschools and private homes she has become an integral part of as a trusted caregiver. From all her experiences Charlie believes that music is vital to a child’s overall well-being.

She is a 2010 Juno Award Nominee, and received recognition for the Best Children’s Album of 2009 from the Independent Music Awards, just to name a few of the awards.

You can find more information about Charlie Hope at her website:   www.charliehopemusic.com. As an added bonus, Charlie is offering two free music downloads at her website. To download “Frog Song” and “Little One” for free, go to www.charliehopemusic.com/freedownload.
