If there’s one children’s show that I can sit down with my children and watch every time it comes on TV it’s The Fresh Beat Band!
I’ve been saying this for a couple of years now, but Lil’ Man and Lil’ Diva adore Kiki, Marina, Twist, and Shout—like so much! They watch each new episode of TFBB with as much enthusiasm as the first and now they have even more reason to be super excited, because The Fresh Beat Band are hitting the road for their first Nationwide concert tour—and mini fans everywhere are going crazy right about now! Check out the press release below for all the details including when you can catch The Fresh Beat Band in your city!
