The Caribou Children’s Discovery Museum will be sponsoring a children’s concert featuring the Flannery Brothers of Bangor, 2 p.m. Sunday, May 31, at the Caribou Performing Arts Center. Michael and Dan Flannery have been playing musical instruments since a very young age and are now writing, performing and producing their own lively and fun music for kids. Their song, “Crab Walk,” won the 2008 Music Web Award and they are currently working on their first CD, “Love Songs for Silly Things.”
A tune written by Daniel Flannery and his older brother Michael, “One Wasn’t Enough,” won the grand prize in the children’s category of Session II of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. The brothers will go on to compete for the Maxwell Song of the Year Award with the chance to take home $20,000 and an Apple computer loaded with special features.
Tickets for the Children’s Concert are $5 each; kids under 3 are admitted free. Members of the Caribou Children’s Discover Museum will also be celebrating Caribou and Presque Isle’s 150 birthday with cake and punch offered during intermission. This event promises to be an afternoon of fun for the entire family. The Flannery Brothers will have kids dancing in the aisles.
