Welcome to La Peña! Promoting social justice & intercultural understanding through the arts since 1975.
Nickelodeon’s Parents’ Picks #1 Party Entertainer in Washington, DC, The Singing Lizard (aka ) is moving kids to the beat of an entirely new genre: Electro-Kindie is music the whole family can enjoy! One of the first artists to combine original and traditional children’s music with electronic, pop, and dance genres, The Singing Lizard relishes pushing boundaries. What began as a single song written for her brother’s firstborn unexpectedly set The Singing Lizard on a track to becoming one of DC’s favorite kindie musicians. Since then, The Singing Lizard has delivered more than 300 high-energy performances for crowds ranging from private parties of a few dozen to an audience of a thousand excited families. She has performed at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, the US Senate’s Holiday Party, the US Capitol, various markets, festivals, mainstream clubs, and fundraisers throughout North America.
Liz is a stand out on stage, connecting with kids and parents alike. Her personality exudes energy, love, and inclusion. Just watch all the kids line up for a hug from The Singing Lizard and you will truly understand the connection she creates with her audience. Adults make up some of Liz’s most loyal fans, thrilled that she has inspired their children by gently encouraging the shy and channeling the exuberant to imagine, dance, and learn. Put on your dancing shoes and turn up the volume because kids’ music just got a whole lot cooler!
