  • Bio

    Founded by Brooklyn-based teaching artist / songwriter Lloyd Miller in 2003, the Deedle Deedle Dees use rock-n-roll, country, hip hop, New Orleans piano music, punk, and folk to teach kids about history, science, folklore, and other cool stuff that they might never have thought about before. Revolutionaries and unsung heroes are our favorite topics: Mahatma Gandhi, Sojourner Truth, Marie Curie, César Chávez, and Abigail Adams are just a few of the fascinating characters who live in our songs. Kids are never expected to sit and listen to the Deedle Deedle Dees at our concerts: they spread their arms and fly around like Amelia Earhart, bounce and tumble in a box like Henry "Box" Brown, throw the "hesitation pitch" like Satchel Paige, and march to freedom like Harriet Tubman. The Dees have brought their unique rock-n-roll classroom to many big-time venues like Symphony Space, the Knitting Factory, and the Sirius XM Kids Place Live Rumpus Room but also to public schools, museums, libraries, parks, zoos, and other family venues across the country.
