This November, IMT started the Family AWESOME Concert Experience, a new family friendly concert series on the first Saturday of the month at the Takoma Park Community Center. The series will feature some of the best family musicians performing today, in an environment that lets parents and kids enjoy the show together (no toddler's mosh pit!). IMT's family concerts are going to be an awesome experience.

SEASON TICKETS: The first two shows in the FACE series are over, but you can still purchase a season ticket for the remaining three shows. If you purchase a ticket for each of the three shows in one order, you will receive a 10% discount, so the three tickets will cost $27 instead of $30. When you click the Buy Tickets button for any of the FACE shows, you'll find options to purchase a three-show ticket for either the 1 pm or 3 pm seating--or just click here to go directly to the shopping cart.

WHO NEEDS A TICKET? Children one year old and up need to have a ticket. Infants under one year do not need tickets. Please be sure your child is able to sit through a hour-long concert without being disruptive, or be prepared to take him or her out of the room to calm down.

A two-time Grammy award-winning artist, recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the RI Council for the Humanities, Bill uses song and story to paint a vibrant and hilarious picture of growing up, schooling and family life.

His work spans the generation gap, reminds us of our common humanity and challenges us to be our very best selves. A prolific author and recording artist, Bill is also a regular commentator for NPR's "All Things Considered" and featured on PBS. He joined the National Storytelling Network's Circle of Excellence in 2001 and tours nationwide as an author, performing artist and keynote speaker.

Bill began singing and storytelling in 1975 while still in college. His work has influenced a generation of children, parents, performing artists and educators. Bill's songs are joyous, direct and honest, his stories are filled with the details of daily life--all told and sung from his slightly off-center point of view.

"Humor is my weapon," says Harley of his award-winning recordings. A two-time Grammy winner, Bill's recordings have also garnered numerous other national awards including Parents' Choice, NAPPA (National Association of Parenting Publication Awards), ALA (American Library Association) and the highest honor from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio for his concert DVD, "Yes to Running!" filmed in conjunction with Montana PBS.

Bill's trademark wit and wisdom can also be found in his picture books and novels for children. His first novel, The Amazing Flight of Darius Frobisher was chosen by Bank Street School of Education as one of the best children's books of the year and his second novel, Night of the Spadefoot Toads was awarded the Green Earth Book Award as best environmental book of the year in the children's fiction category. His picture books, based on his songs, stories and poems also stand out as 'pick of the list' from ABA and a Storytelling Award Winner. An advocate for children and educators, Bill is currently at work on a book about the culture of schools.
