Of course Perry and Tor and Peter DiStefano will make their annual Kidza appearance again this year. Their kidza sets are alway a highlight of the weekend. Last year, we were also thrilled to be able to introduce the kids to one of our favorite artists, Chrissie Hynde, LIVE at the Kidza Stage. Check out ChiIL Mama's best of past Kidzas coverage.

We can't wait to see newcomers, Northbrook Garage. Here's what Kidza has to say about them:
Smoky, soulful vocals. Chunky, melodic licks. Solid, barnstorming rhythm. If you hear Northbrook Garage without seeing them, you’ll never guess the members are still in junior high. Their talent, arrangement style, and synergy are way beyond their years.
From deep cut covers to infectious originals, the sound of Northbrook Garage is unexpectedly unique. The guys of Northbrook Garage -- Sam Harkey, Eric Doar, and Eric von Holst -- have been honing and tightening their sound since grammar school. When they met vocalist Elenna Sindler at a junior high talent night, the band was complete.
NBG has an undeniable chemistry evident both on and off the stage. That vibe translates into tight grooves and that indescribable “something special”. Described as Soulful Americana and Rootsy Groove, NBG finds the pulse in music and expresses themselves through their eclectic sound. The result is not typical of their generation, but could just be where their generation is going. As exclaimed by Sharon Jones after inviting them onto her stage to jam with the Dap-Kings, “The babies are bringing back soul! Ain’t that something!”
ChiIL Mama loves their header--Minor Age, Major Rock N Roll! Indeed.
