Milkshake Plans Valentine's Day Spectacular

Today we got an email from Lisa Matthews, lead singer of our favorite Grammy-nominated local children's band, Milkshake, letting us know about just-finalized plans for a big "Valentine's Day Spectacular" at Ram's Head Live (across from Port Discovery—how's that for a kid-friendly landmark?).

The event will take place on Sunday, February 13th, a day before V-Day because, as Lisa notes, "most of our audience will be in school then." Besides the concert, there will be lots of fun kid stuff to do, including face painting, balloon art, chocolate kisses from Moo the Cow, and more. Also, a portion of proceeds from tickets sales and merchandise will go to Autism Speaks. Doors open at 1pm, concert at 2pm.

To get us in the V-Day mood, I'm posting below, "I Love You," a track from Milkshake's Grammy-nominated 2009 album Great Day. It really calls to mind something The Washington Post wrote about the band: "While many of Milkshake's songs describe the world from a kid's point of view, others are more like love letters from parent to child." This is definitely one of those, and it's terrific...
