The New York Times calls Roberts the “Judy Blume of kiddie rock.” This five-time Grammy Award–nominated musician has built a joy-filled niche in the rock world with two decades’ worth of soundtracks to families’ lives—sharing the joys and sorrows of growing up while giving parents a window back to their childhoods—this past April releasing his 17th album, titled Brain Freeze. Also a children’s book author, Roberts writes “feel-good songs” with themes of inclusion, acceptance, and self-discovery. Alongside his longtime band, the Not Ready For Naptime Players, Roberts is serving up a heaping handful of his hooky power-pop for a Halloween special with tasty hits like his “Trick or Treat.”
