Zak Morgan – Children’s Musician
(Ages 6+) Younger siblings with caregiver welcomed

Saturday, April 9, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Musician, songwriter, storyteller, and Grammy-nominee Zak Morgan’s unique brand of children’s music delivers songs and poems with wit and charm that inspire and tickle the funny bones of children and adults.

“Morgan sounds a bit like singer Cat Stevens, and his storytelling is an inspired cross between Dr. Seuss-style word games, and the sly edginess of Shel Silverstein. In short, it’s children’s music that adults can love.” – Rick Bird, Cincinnati Post. This event is part of the Live! at the Sherman Library series made possible by a gift from Charles P. Ferro Foundation.
