GET SET FOR AN UN-BOO-LIEVABLY FUN TIME
WITH LAURIE BERKNER
“THE QUEEN OF KIDS’ MUSIC”
ON HER NEW ALBUM
A LAURIE BERKNER HALLOWEEN
NEW YORK (October 11, 2024) – All dressed up with nowhere to ghost? Beloved kids’ musician Laurie
Berkner gives the season of costumes, candy, and jack-o’-lanterns a “BOO-st” with her very first
Halloween album, A Laurie Berkner Halloween.
A Laurie Berkner Halloween treats little tricksters to an assortment of songs Laurie has written through
the years, plus several brand-new releases that celebrate the fun of Halloween and the fall season for
young children.
“I am so thrilled to be releasing this Halloween album!” says Laurie Berkner. “I loved writing songs about
ghosts that play peek-a-boo, pumpkins, owls, and mischievous witches. I loved being steeped in the
imagination of dressing up and the excitement of getting treats. My hope is that this combination of new
and familiar songs provides a soundtrack that adds a little extra magic to the Halloween season for the
kids and families who listen.”
A Laurie Berkner Halloween includes gross motor movement songs, fingerplays, call-and-response
songs, counting songs, animal songs, songs to let kids’ imaginations run free, and more. The mix of
musical styles and production ranges from a cappella (“Moon Moon Moon,” “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”) to the
full Laurie Berkner Band plus horns (“Choc-o-lot In My Pock-o-lot”).
Laurie Berkner designed the album to take listeners on a musical trip, starting on the “Halloween Train,”
then deciding “What Am I Gonna Be (For Halloween)?,” followed by picking out a pumpkin (“I Picked One
Pumpkin”) and playing peek-a-boo with a friendly ghost (“Peek-A-Boo Ghost”). Everyone dances to the
“Monster Boogie,” plays a game with two witch friends (”Which Witch”), goes trick-or-treating (“Trick Or
Treat”), and takes a “Hayride” before quieting down with “The Owls” in their nest and discovering “What
Falls In The Fall?”
This autumn adventure wraps up with a variety of Halloween friends riding an elevator in “Waiting For The
Elevator (Halloween version)” and arriving at a dance party (“Monster Boogie [Dance Remix]”) before
revisiting Laurie’s peek-a-boo game to say good-bye.
A Laurie Berkner Halloween is available on all major streaming and digital platforms.
