Uncle Shlomo's Family Concert Series presents Kelli Welli & Nanny Nikki

Kelli Welli (Portland, OR) - Drawing on her unique upbringing and often inspired by the kids and animals in her life, Kelli Welli’s wide-ranging and award-winning songwriting is smart, fun, often hilarious, sometimes reflective and deeply sweet. Always genuine. Her original songs and lullabies weave wonderful tales, celebrate love, nature, different languages, and honor all the details that come with raising these amazing little people in our lives. 

Nanny Nikki (Chicago, IL) - From the time she was a young girl, Nikki knew that music is where she found her HAPPY! After college, she worked as a professional nanny for nearly 15 years… and sang. ALL THE TIME! Now that she is a GRAMMY nominated musician, and a Mother, and caring for other children, she finds every excuse to have "music time.” The looks on the faces of small children when they hear a song that excites them makes her heart swell!
