Come celebrate the release of the jammin' kids CD, Tabula Rasa. Guests will enjoy a live concert featuring Nikolai Moderbacher (guitar/vocals), Evan Pazner (percussion), Derek Nievergelt (bass) and Kevin Louis (cornet/trumpet).

"Captivating, consoling, wacky and whimsical, this is definitely a CD for our time. Tabula Rasa, Latin for "blank slate" is the new folky, thumb-in-nose, funky, bang on your high chair kid's album. With DIY album artwork, the creative mind behind this project, Brooklyn-based artist Nikolai Moderbacher, kept both children and parents in mind. Offbeat, brassy and catchy, the songs on Tabula Rasa are both lively in their instrumentation and soothing in their harmonies. Just like a Dan Zanes or Audra Rox, this is sure to be the best new kid's album this side of Flatbush." - Pyeng Threadgill.

Join us for a special seminar on Eating, Sleeping and Greening your home. Special guests include Dr. Michael Cohen, Founder of Tribeca Pediatrics and author of "The New Basics: A-Z Childcare for babies and parents"; Alezandra Zissu, Co-author of "The Complete Organic Pregnancy" and popular greenproofer; and Kira Ryan, Co-founder of Dream Team and family sleep consultant.
