Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players

Named by the New York Times as “the Judy Blume of kiddie rock,” five-time GRAMMY nominee Justin Roberts is one of the founders of the modern family music scene. For 25 years, Roberts has been creating the soundtrack to families’ lives, helping kids navigate the joys and sorrows of growing up, while inspiring parents to remember their own childhoods. His songs are the kind of get-stuck-in-your-head pop nuggets that draw comparisons to Elvis Costello, Fountains of Wayne and Paul Simon rather than simple nursery rhymes, prompting USA Today to call him “hands-down the best songwriter in the genre.” Along with this band, The Not Ready for Naptime Players, Justin has travelled the globe, from Hong Kong to New York and Miami to Seattle. In addition to his recordings, Roberts is also the author of several acclaimed picture books.
