Hub City Sounds to Feature Family-Friendly Show by StarFish

The New Brunswick Cultural Center's Hub City Sounds outdoor music series will continue on Saturday with a family-friendly performance by the band StarFish.

Presented by the State Theatre, the concert begins at 5 p.m. Aug. 25 at Boyd Park.

It is free and open to the public, with free parking available at the Rutgers University Public Safety Building parking deck. Attendees are advised to bring chairs and blankets to sit on.

According to the New Brunswick Cultural Center, StarFish is a five piece rock band that is suitable for both adults and kids:

This 5-piece band electrifies kids’ music and gives parents the opportunity to share a real rock concert experience with their children. With such lively songs as “Stop, Drop and Rock and Roll,” “Air Guitar,” “My Little Brother (He’s a Wolfman),” and “Joshua’s Treehouse,” StarFish gives kids’ music a classic rock makeover.  

Based in Maplewood, NJ, StarFish consists of 5 life long musicians (who are now also dads) who love to bring a little bit of rock and roll to the little ones. The band performs original, energetic, classic rock-based tunes with kid-friendly lyrics covering such familiar territory as sibling rivalry, school rules, and fun times with friends. Parents are StarFish fans too, and enjoy musical nods to a wide range of rock influences, such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Phish, and Tom Petty.  

This show is the third of seven performances scheduled at Boyd Park as part of the Hub City Sounds music series.
