This time they’re doing something a little different. Seattle’s kindie rockers have developed a pre-k music and movement class called Rockaboo. This 10 week series will be lead by lead singer Sarah Shannon and held in the heart of the hood and The Wallingford Boys and Girls club starting Jan 9.

Rockaboo was developed by Sarah (a Wallingford mom who can boast serious indie cred as lead singer of 90’s Sup Pop artist Velocity Girl, along with training in classical music at The University of Maryland) and guitar player Tom Baisden (a special education teacher at a arts immersion elementary school).

The mission of Rockaboo is to enrich children’s lives and connect families through music and movement. The science is indisputable, music boosts brain development. In this class (with a maximum of 12 children plus their caregivers) children will learn about dynamics (loud/soft), pitch (high/low), and tempo (fast/slow). Most importantly, in Rockaboo, families will revel together in the joy of music!

I didn’t realize the Not-Its shared Sarah with the Velocity Girl. And Caspar Babypants is Chris Ballew of the The Presidents of the United States of America.

I sense a pattern.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
