BIOGRAPHY & PHOTOS

Songwriter, lead vocals,
acoustic/electric guitar
"When you told me how music was your "third kid" I was so struck by that. I just wanted you to know the daily joy your music has been bringing us as we have been working through lots of transitions... thanks for lightening up our spirit. What a blessing to be able to make such a happy difference in others' lives." —Maria Slowinski, Fan and Mother of two
When Jeanie B! had her two sons around the turn of the century, she found that a lot of the available children's music was very primitive sounding, stripped down. In her experience, kids love rock 'n' roll. They love to dance and laugh. She wanted to provide her kids with music that they could all enjoy together. She then put her adult music career on hold to focus on providing songs for her children. When her youngest son (at age 3) started a bedtime game where he would give her a topic and then ask her to sing a song about it, the songs just started pouring out of her. And from her folk/rock roots, Jeanie B! and The Jelly Beans were born.
Jeanie B! was raised on Folk, Rock, & Country Music and is bringing up the next generation on her special brand of it! A Billboard and Parents Choice award winner, this high energy performer has been called "Velcro for kids." Jeanie's upbeat shows are jammed-packed with dancing, sing-a-longs, and interactive music, and everyone goes home happy. Parents love her music too, and find themselves listening to her CD's even when the kids aren't around. Jeanie is also a renowned music teacher, and often folds important life lessons into the lyrics. On every level, Jeanie B! and her Jelly Beans band are a tight groove machine made of seasoned pros that will keep everyone thinking and dancing on their feet.
"I try to engage children on many levels with my music. Many of my songs are just plain fun ("The Bootay Dance", "Nose Bubbles"), but I also try to teach the kids about themselves and the world ("Five Fingers", "Colorblind", "The Tooth Fairy Rap"). Of course, I can't help writing love songs from this Mommy's heart ("Superhero", "I Love You Song")".
The Jelly Beans are seasoned musical pros — including Jeanie B!’s husband and musical partner of 3 decades, Jay Bonansinga on harmonica. Jay also helps demonstrate the many silly dance moves that accompany many of Jeanie's songs! The kids love seeing a group of people who look like their parents playing Rock 'n' Roll!
The live show is something to behold: Jeanie B! dances, marches and even invites the little audience members on stage to sing with her on their own microphones. The kids (and adults) are involved in most of the songs with movements or dancing or singing of some kind. Jeanie gets down on the floor with them to shake her feet in the air when counting all ten toes during "Five Fingers", and nobody can resist doing "The Bootay Dance"! For parents who don't get to go out to live music concerts much anymore, this is a great way to satisfy their need for a rockin' good time and enjoy quality time with their children! Please check out our shows for photos from our concerts.
Jeanie B! is available solo or with The Jelly Beans to play in Schools, Churches, Festivals, Concert Halls, Conferences, Libraries, Block Parties, Fundraisers and even Birthday Parties! Whatever your need, a good time is guaranteed.
