Hit Children's Music Duo Andrew & Polly Coming to Jammin' Java

Award-winning children’s music duo Andrew & Polly will bring their act to the Washington, D.C., metro area for the first time later this summer with a performance at Vienna’s Jammin’ Java.

The set is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1, at 10:30 a.m., and doors will open at 10 a.m. Tickets are $8, and family four-packs of tickets will be available for $25.

Kids may recognize the music of the Los Angeles-based pair from hearing their songs on Nickelodeon’s Wallykazam!, as well as the score to the Nickelodeon digital series Welcome To The Wayne.

Andrew & Polly have written and performed music for adults as well, which has been featured in grown-up movies as well as television programs and commercials. Still, there first love remains their children’s music, as affirmed by Andrew Barkan in a recent news release promoting the show at Jammin’ Java.

“The commercial accolades are nice, but much more meaningful to us was winning the prestigious ASCAP Foundation Joe Raposo Children’s Music Award for a song from our debut children’s album, ‘Up and At ‘Em!’”

Barkan and his musical partner Polly Hall are also married, and their shared connection brings even more life to their shows, something audiences have noticed as the group has grown in notoriety.

The duo is known for engaging the audience, and they love to improvise songs based on suggestions from the crowd. They also share musical knowledge with the audience during their performances, introducing unique instruments to the crowd as well as “music lingo.”

The release also notes the duo will need its audience to provide some backup vocals, meaning singing along is not only allowed but encouraged.
