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.
