The Banana Slug String Band is a group of lovable musicians and educators from the coastal redwoods of Northern California. With vocals, guitars, mandolin, bass, harmonica, banjo and percussion, Slug songs range from rockin' boogies to sensitive ballads; folk songs to reggae and rap. Their music ripples and resounds its way across the planet, speaking to science, conservation, humor, and imagination.

The Sippy Cups perform a high-energy rock show for families. They whip up imaginative original tunes and cult rock favorites into a whirlwind circus of humor and interactive audience participation. With a magic party atmosphere, The Sippy Cups' songs evoke a child-like freedom to pretend, and have the essential cool factor for discerning listeners.

Location: Marine Science Institute, 500 Discovery Parkway, Redwood City, CA 94063. 650-364-2760 Ext. 16. Check our web site for directions.
