Artist History It was through our creative vision and implementation that we pioneered the family concert arena over a decade ago in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. Our multifaceted talents as musicians, performers, and personalities has made us UNSTOPPABLE! In addition, our popularity has grown even more being San Francisco Bay Area TV/Media personalities in Northern California. Our music combined with a television background led us to create the very popular community access TV show on TCI called The Cotton Candy Express Show in the early 90's. We produced this musical variety show for two years on cable. From 1994-1998 we became the hosts of the number one rated children's block of cartoons on the FOX affilliate called the KTVU FOX2 Kids Club. In addition to our hosting duties, we musically scored the Emmy Award Winning after school special titled ANIMAL CRACKERS, and the Emmy Award nominated KIDPOWER. We also won the 1997 "Fox Monument Award" as most outstanding Kids Club Hosts'of the 172 station network; the 1996 "Fox Kids Monument Award" for Excellence in Children's Programming;"and 1995 "NAB Award" for Service to Children's Television.Here we are...2001...into our third season with the Warner Bros. affilliate KBWB TV.. The WB20 Kids Club. Again, we are the number one children's block for afternoon cartoons. We continue our on-air musical antics daily in the mornings and afternoons, as well as provide fun, music, prizes and scheduled appearances from some of the Warner Bros. most beloved costume characters. The Kids WB20 Club currently has over 150,000 members throughout Northern California...and it continues to grow! We have successfully blended our family style music with Kids Television Programming to create a winning situation for all, and we hope you enjoy the ride. We continue to perform over 150 live shows annually.
