About This Show
Laurie Berkner comes to Columbia for the first time in a special solo concert at the Koger Center for the Arts. Laurie’s solo show features popular hits like “We Are The Dinosaurs,” “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” “Victor Vito,” “Waiting For The Elevator”, and “Chipmunk At The Gas Pump”, plus – as a special treat for fans – a few well-loved Laurie Berkner songs that are not often heard at Laurie’s full-band concerts! Kids should plan to bring their dancing shoes and a stuffed animal (for their heads). The show runs approximately 75 minutes.
This event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required for entry. Tickets will be available on Eventbrite beginning April 13, 2026, at 9 a.m.
Laurie Berkner

Laurie was the first recording artist ever to perform in music videos on Nick Jr. and was a beloved presence on the network’s Jack’s Big Music Show series. The Laurie Berkner Band YouTube Channel has over 587K subscribers with millions of views.
She maintains a busy national touring schedule and has performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the White House. When not touring, Laurie enjoys knitting, biking and spending time with her husband and son at their home in New York City.
