What THE NEW YORK TIMES has to say about our showcases:

"The Knitting Factory has been host to many boundary-pushing musicians. That will still be true [on Sunday], but these artists will be younger than usual, and they’ll be redefining the limits of what children can do. All are students at Blue Balloon Songwriting for Small People, a school that the songwriter, performer and former teacher Rachel Lipson founded with the goal of letting children master instruments by writing their own songs.”
