   About The Kerplunks!

The MULTI-AWARD-WINNING Kerpunks all started when Dinah D and Tina Jones began Melody Makers Musical Preschool on Gabriola Island. The popularity of this program grew, thus The Kerplunks were born! Now a four-piece band, they’ve been called Canada’s hippest new Children’s Entertainers! The Kerplunks play catchy tunes guaranteed to get kids engaged singing along and joining in on the actions. ~Dinah plays the upright bass, banjo, and really belts it out! She also plays the kazoo like a mad-woman! ~Tina plays the trumpet, trombone, clarinet, baritone and also sings. Watch out for when she busts a rhyme, yo! ~Phil plays the drums and sings along. ~Aaron plays the acoustic guitar and also sings along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Kerplunks have been busy playing some of Canada’s finest music festivals including Vancouver Island MusicFest 2006/08 Islands Folk Festival 2007, Harmony Arts Festival 2007, Just Kidding Children’s series 2008, Vancouver International Children's Festival 2008, Midsummer Music Festival 2008/09, Surrey Children's Festival 2009, and many more! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Kerplunks released their first CD in November 2007. With on-line distribution and word of mouth, kids all over the world are enjoying their high energy music! The Kerplunks' AWARD WINNING CD is available online at http://cdbaby.com/cd/kerplunks ======================================================= What FANS are saying about The Kerplunks: "Wow! What a positive show, can't wait to see you again soon! You guys rock the house. Way cool." ~Matt, Nicole & Tess ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What a fantastic experience my children and for that matter, the whole family had. So much fun!" ~Tanya, Tim, Isaiah & Sadie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We loved the way that music, movement and musical instruments were introduced to the children... remarkable, energetic!" ~Paula, Steve, Reece & Connor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We really enjoyed your show. The kids had a great time, and the music was super. Your energy and enthusiasm were contagious and everyone got involved. All the best for this year! Cheers!" ~Rob Larson: Principal,Blackburn Elementary School, Prince George, BC ==================================================
