Family entertainer Red Grammer will perform at Saint Mary’s Jan. 13


WINONA, Minn. — Grammy-nominated family entertainer Red Grammer will bebop his way onto the Saint Mary’s University Page Theatre Stage at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Compelling audiences to share his totally infectious enthusiasm for music, Grammer will draw listeners (of all ages) into a world where children are intelligent, capable young adults, ready to “bebop their best.” Grammer playfully engages children in self-exploration, where honesty, responsibility, integrity, and being kind and fair are the central messages in a rocking, bopping, swinging series of songs.

With a playful, good-natured character, Grammer is a young-at-heart, premier entertainer of children and families. Parents Magazine has described Red as “the best voice in children's music.” Having been featured on “The Today Show,” “CBS This Morning,” Nickelodeon, Showtime, PBS, and his own Disney Channel concert special, Grammer is practiced in lifting the spirits of families across the United States. He has set the gold standard for writing and performing music that playfully reconnects each one of us with the best in ourselves.

Tickets for the Page Series performance are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and are available by calling the SMU Box Office, (507) 457-1715, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, or online at www.pagetheatre.org.

This presentation is supported by the Performing Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art, with additional contributions from the Minnesota Arts Board, General Mills Foundation, and Land O’Lakes Foundation.
