The Bug Family Band plays original folk rock for kids and former kids. They hatched in the SF Bay Area in 2010 as Ladybug Picnic, and metamorphosized into their mature form while recording their debut CD in 2013. At full strength, the band consists of four adults (drums, piano, guitar, and vocals/percussion), and two kids (Anna plays the glockenspiel and sings, while Easton sings, dances, freestyles, and generally goes crazy), but they are also seen in smaller configurations. The Bug Family’s sound is characterized by rich vocal harmonies, interactive sing-alongs, and clever tunes that kids and their adults can all appreciate! They have become a favorite on the family stage at High Sierra Music Festival, as well as nonprofit venues, museums, and school fundraisers across the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Bugs’ second album, ABeeCD, was released September 27, 2015, and features recent crowd favorites like “Put My Helmet On” and “Goin’ the the Pool (When You Get Out of School)." The band is donating 10% of proceeds from ABeeCD to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, to aid in their work educating people about responsible pesticide use, revitalizing pollinator habitats, and fostering groundbreaking research.
