These kids have such style and diversity that they can perform at just about any function and keep all age groups pleased and asking for more!
Their repertoire includes a wide variety of genres, such as pop, rock, contemporary, r&b, motown and musicals.  Their musical influences include Justin Timberlake, Dreamstreet, early Jackson 5, R Kelly and remakes of crowd-pleaser favourites.
Kidz Rock’s next performance will be  on Sat 5th at a private function for the  Corporate Childrens Christmas Disco.  However don’t let that stop you from booking them for your next major party or gig.

A Weekend with Sam Verlinden

Sam returned to school this week with a full agenda not just for school but for his extra curricular activities as well.

Sam announced today;

“I’m back to school, Oliver rehearsals, Battle of the Band rehearsals, Touch Rugby Training and Christmas in the Park rehearsals”.

Goodness Sam! Don’t you ever take a break?
Well the answer to that is yes he did. While short, it was a much needed refreshing from the tedious grind that the past 2 months have afforded him.  You could say it was a last days of school vacation/birthday celebration.  Sam spent part of the weekend at a local Thyme Park with his two best mates Luke and Liam. It was a great time of just boys being boys!

When we think about Sam, we think about the bundle of talent he is! We see him on stage under the spotlight, on the television, entertaining for special events, entering and winning World Talent Competitions, creating new You-Tube videos, answering tons of Fan Mail, Busking (singing on the street)  on the weekends, on and on we could go! However it’s good to know that Sam every once and awhile can relax and just be a fun loving 12 year old boy!

The boys dressed for the cool morning air as they ventured around the park, rode some killer roller coaster rides, and once things warmed up enjoyed a cool ice cream treat.
