Big Bang Boom to bring rock ‘n’ roll for kids to Randolph libraries

Kid-approved, parent-friendly rock ‘n’ rollers Big Bang Boom will anchor the second half of “Dig Into Reading,” the Randolph County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, with performances at six libraries during July and early August.

The Greensboro-based trio’s live show is high-energy, and both children and parents will find it hard to stay in their seats. From calling kids onstage for the “Spongebob Chorus” to the “Parents vs. Kids Hokey Pokey Challenge,” Big Bang Boom  makes certain that there is no sitting down for their fun and energetic shows.

The band kicks off its performances with shows in Randleman and Asheboro on July 18. The shows are free, and all kids and their families/caregivers are invited.

The full schedule is as follows:

·        Archdale, 10:30 a.m. Friday, August 2 (at Archdale Parks and Rec);
·        Asheboro, 4 p.m. Thursday, July 18;
·        Franklinville, 3 p.m. Thursday, July 25;
·        Liberty, 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 23;
·        Randleman, 10:30 a.m. Thursday, July 18;
·        Seagrove, 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 24.

Established in 2007, Big Bang Boom consists of veteran area musicians – and dads – Chuck Folds, Steve Willard and Eddie Walker. They write songs with a pop sensibility by cleverly mixing alternative, hip-hop, pop, country, and other genres to create music that parents and children can relate to and enjoy.

The library’s Summer Reading program is ongoing with weekly events and storytimes at each library. It’s primarily sponsored by the Friends of the Library with support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, through the Randolph Arts Guild. Many local businesses and organizations help out also.
