The Rock And Roll Playhouse Announces First-Ever Shows In Denver, Fairfield, & Portland And Expands To Two New Venues 

Today, The Rock and Roll Playhouse, a national family concert series that aims to pass down music to future generations by creating opportunities for children to experience live music, announces its winter 2019 programming with its first-ever shows in Denver, Fairfield, and Portland with additional shows in Washington D.C. and Brooklyn.

Performing songs created by the most iconic musicians in rock history, The Rock and Roll Playhouse band brings the music of Phish, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Rihanna, Aretha Franklin and more to families in an engaging, motivational setting. This winter, Rock and Roll Playhouse expands to Denver’s Bluebird Theater for the city’s first-ever show and debuts at Fairfield Connecticut’s Fairfield Theatre Company, in addition to Portland, Oregon’s Crystal Ballroom. Rock and Roll Playhouse will also host the final children-oriented show at Washington D.C.’s Gypsy Sally’s ahead of the venue’s closure. Full winter line-up below.

Included in the 2019 winter lineup is the Rock and Roll Playhouse’s Motown for Kids Holiday Celebrations and a special five-year anniversary show at Brooklyn Bowl. This year marks the fifth year for the Rock and Roll Playhouse, who will be celebrating in style where it all began - the Brooklyn Bowl. Further details to come.

This year’s winter 2019 season also includes two “Give Back” shows with The Can'd Aid Foundation, in Chicago and NYC, where The Rock and Roll Playhouse will donate an additional dollar of each ticket sold to Can'd Aid's Tunes program - a music initiative that donates instruments to public schools in need.
