Wacky Dog

Pops and Syl have been making music together for more than several decades.

Audience participation is the focus of Wacky Dog. And not just the clap-while-we-perform kind of participation. Many of our songs have hand movements we show to the audience, so they can join in. Howling, barking, and singing are always encouraged. We bring kids up on stage to play rhythm instruments, make puppets dance, help with the spelling of BINGO, and more. It is a cacophony of fun peppered with little lessons about music, loving animals, and cooperation. Bark, bark

Pops and Syl have Wacky Dogged with various friends on and off for over a dozen years. Part of the fun is you never know who or what will join us on stage. Some friends who have joined Wacky Dog on stage: The Branzei Sisters • Eva Espinosa • Big Sue • Mary O'Brien • Michael Tharp • Patricia Komlenic • Bob Pehowic • Carol Hughey • Dennis Dragon • Jackie St John • Rob Hayden • Anny Zweifel • Curt • Zukie ••• Vocals, Dance, Percussion, Washboard, Fiddle, Sax, Mandolin, Trumpet, Harmonica, Guitar, Etc.

Because Pops and Syl devoted much of their lives to children as teachers, performers, park naturalist, and speaker, we have kid experience. Syl still performs and speaks at museums and science centers. And we both volunteer at our local elementary school. Wacky Dog naturally flows out of our love for music, performing, and kids
