The following was submitted by Winchester Unitarian Society:
On Saturday, June 6, the Winchester Unitarian Society presents the popular children’s music group “Matt Heaton and the Outside Toys” in a noontime concert on Winchester Town Day.
Led by guitarist and singer Matt Heaton, the Outside Toys bring a zany sense of fun and wry humor to the moment, in a high-energy performance that appeals to kids and adults alike.
The concert will take place from 12 to 1 p.m. on the Winchester Unitarian Society lawn, at the corner of Mystic Valley Parkway and Main Street.
Heaton was raised in a golden age of kids’ media. The Muppets, Free to Be You and Me, Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood all provided the soundtrack of his early childhood.
He tries to bring elements of those classic shows — the musicianship, the wit, the respect and kindness — to families today. His songs blend the mid-century rockabilly, surf, soul, western swing and country music he loves with a delightful sense of humor and engaging personal style.
Heaton has songs about math and feelings, infectious rhythms that get kids up and dancing, and hits like “Don’t Drink the Water (That Your Butt’s Been In).”
Whether he’s doing a show at a library, a theater, a pub, or an outdoor venue, Heaton plays to both the kids and the adults in the audience.
Bring your lunch and join the fun!
