LA is a haven for arts and entertainment, so it should come as no surprise that there are dozens of amazing local bands just for kids—and for their music savvy parents. You shouldn’t have to choose between listening to the  Frozen soundtrack for 2 years straight and precociously playlisting pre-teen pop to tiny tots. So don’t! Check out our favorite stars of the local scene; we guarantee you’ll want to jam to these LA kids bands just as much as your mini DJs.

 

Fishtank Ensemble

Though technically Fishtank Ensemble isn’t a kids band, they’ve still been known to rock a kid-centric crowd at LA hotspots, like Summer Sounds at the Bowl. Their unique blend of fiery gypsy jazz and flamenco makes them the perfect intro to world music for your budding music aficionados. And you’ll gladly pay the babysitter overtime to catch one of their grown-up shows long after the kiddos are in bed.
