“SPAGHETTI CAKE”
“ORIGINAL CHILDREN’S JAM ROCK”
Spaghetti Cake is a six-piece rock group (Vocals, Keyboards, Bass, Drum set, Guitar, Percussion) that performs for young audiences and adults, bringing to life 'The Young Person's Guide to the Rock Band'. The stage show is a mix of descriptive performance, Q&A sessions, and hands-on experience for kids that are always met with startled faces, scores of air guitarists, and a generation of will-be musicians. The all-star group of talented musicians in Spaghetti Cake shines as brightly on the arena stage as in front of festival crowds. The music of Spaghetti Cake delivers a positive message about believing in who you are, and celebrating the kid in us all.
