Original show description below.
Four-time GRAMMY Nominees and winners of the 2023 GRAMMY Award for Best Children’s Album, Alphabet Rockers return to the SFJAZZ stage to bring the community together in true Rockers fashion, with a celebratory performance exploring elements of hip hop, and shared moments to reflect, express and uplift affirmations. Join us as we congratulate the Rockers on their GRAMMY win and keep the party going!
ALPHABET ROCKERS make music that makes change. Founded by Kaitlin McGaw (she/her) and Tommy Shepherd (he/him/they), this intergenerational group creates brave spaces to shape a more equitable world through hip hop. Their GRAMMY-nominated albums inspire American kids and families to stand up to hate and be their brave and beautiful selves.
Our families need content that is healing, that reflects who we are and empowers us—that embraces Black liberation, Queer liberation, Indigenous rights, immigrant rights, and intersectionality. Alphabet Rockers curates this content with the community, centering children’s voices. We amplify authentic stories and interrupt the patterns that got us here. Witness how we do this collective work—join us in the embodiment of real change.
Each one-hour matinee features live performance, audience participation, Q&A, and amazing music.
