KIDS + FAMILIES

The Jewish Community Center of Houston presents Something Fun for Families - Craig Parks in his Kol Kef Concert, Friday, December 24, at  11:00 AM.

Craig Parks mixes it up in a delightful Jewish musical celebration for children and their families in a concert of songs from his new Kol Kef (All Fun) CD. The pre-Shabbat performance by the singer/songwriter offers a delightful Jewish musical celebration for children and their families. Craig’s energetic, silly, and fun style of song leading brings new life to old favorites. Craig’s performance is full of groovin’ music, hilarious shtick, and some fun surprises!

Kids love Craig Parks!!! From day schools to camps and synagogues Craig has entertained thousands of kids with his music, shtick, and high energy. He has toured in rock bands and has performed with some of the best of today’s Jewish performers like Rick Recht and Craig Taubman.

He has studied with the greats like Debbie Friedman and Danny Maseng and has played all over the country at JCC’s, camps, retreats, music festivals, and youth events. Craig’s performances draw from his 15 years working with youth as a songleader, youth director, educator, and camp director.

With his rockin’ and rhythmic acoustic guitar Craig leaves kids smiling, laughing, and feeling great about being Jewish!

Beyond his music, Craig is also a mentsch. Part of the sale of each CD goes to the Friendship Circle, a non-profit organization that helps kids with special needs. At his Houston concert, Craig will donate these proceeds exclusively to the Houston branch of the Friendship circle.

The concert is open to the entire community. Children’s tickets are $8 each and parents can join them for free. To hear a sample of Craig’s music go to craigparksmusic.com. To purchase tickets go to jcchoutson.org or call Judy Weil at 713.729.3200, ext. 3231.
