Bobs & Lolo bring GOLD to Vancouver!
Westcoast children’s entertainers garner further international recognition for their growing collection of award-winning recordings and performances with a pre-2010 GOLD!
Action Packed is the latest album from critically acclaimed children’s performers, Bobs & Lolo, to fall under the international spotlight. Bobs & Lolo are currently celebrating a 2009 Parents’ Choice Gold Award that follows closely on the heels of a 2008 Children’s Music Web Award and a 2009 Canadian Indie Award nomination for Favourite Children’s Artist. Momentum is definitely strong for this Vancouver-based duo!
The Parents’ Choice Awards program honours the best material for children. Less than 15% of the items submitted to the Parents’ Choice Awards program receive a commendation in one of the six award levels: Gold, Silver, Recommended, Approved, Fun Stuff and Classic.
Lynne Heffley, long-time Parents’ Choice music critic and staff writer for 25 years at the Los Angeles Times writes, “Bobs & Lolo, a.k.a. Robyn Hardy and Lorraine Pond, meet a challenge that sinks many would-be children’s artists: presenting frankly good-for-you messages without sounding preachy or patronizing. The duo’s smooth harmonies and frolicsome approach impart refreshing life to original songs…instead of sinking under their own worthy weight, these tuneful tracks float and shimmer like soap bubbles in the sun.” Read the full review here.

Bobs & Lolo use music, movement and make-believe to share stories and experiences that both entertain and educate, while ultimately teaching children to care about themselves, their neighbours and the planet. Their programming places an emphasis on celebrating the values of healthy-living and aims to inspire young audiences with an awareness and appreciation for the world around them. Watch for regular appearances by Bobs & Lolo on the national children’s television network, Treehouse TV!

What can we say, apart from Congratulations! We knew from the first time we heard and saw you at the Aquarium in March 2008 that you guys would achieve great heights. There is no-one else out there like you guys and you deserve all the awards you receive. Hardly a day goes by when one of your CD’s is not being listened to in our house. We all love Bobs and Lolo!!

we listen to Bobs & Lolo every single day!! my husband and I frequently find ourselves singing your songs. I’ve even sent your website to a few friends in the states, and they love you as well. Congrats on gold! Cant wait for that hockey song you were thinking about writing (from Twitter). Go Canucks go!
Keep on writing, singing, and bringing the green love to children every where.
