The real thrill of the evening was the live entertainment – Kids Monsters. These five extremely talented siblings, ranging in age from 15 to 27 took the house down. With a repertoire that featured hits of the 60s and 70s and a few recent songs, they demonstrated not only their ability to play their instruments, but their ability to entertain and engage the audience. The drummer and lead vocalist could sound like almost anyone – from Steve Perry of Journey to Axel Rose of Guns n’ Roses to Louis Armstrong. The 15-year-old keyboard player was just as comfortable on the lead vocals as on her electronic keyboard. The young female bass player, Nervana, twirled her hair, jumped around the stage, danced with the audience and played her bass as she moved around the room. The 21-year-old girl was equally comfortable on guitar, percussion, or saxophone. The oldest brother screamed with lead guitar solos. Where did all this talent come from? It was clear when their father joined them on both drums and guitar for the last few songs. What an amazing band?

Here is their version of Louis Armstrong’s “Wonderful World”. Enjoy!
