With more than 100 original songs, the Slugs have performed at such prestigious events as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as well as theaters across the country. Last year, Banana Slug String Band sold out both Pillow Theater shows. This year, PCPAF decided to introduce them to the main stage. Rockin' out in the big theater, audiences have even more room to dance and sing along to their favorite Slug tunes. "With zany, eminently singable songs, the Banana Slugs succeed where many conventional convention-al instructors have failed," writes Parenting Magazine. The Santa Cruz Sentinel praised the Slugs as "...rollicking foot-tapping and educational!" These eco-educators and musicians are scientists and naturalists natu-ralists by profession, but entertainers enter-tainers at heart. For the past 17 years, they have been teaching children to care for the earth while rocking out on stage. Nominated for several children's album awards, The Banana Slug String Band won the 1996 Howard Bell Award for Outstanding Outdoor Education. In addition to touring, Banana Slug String Band has produced eight CDs. l . . nm A o, vTv yy. 7-- V PHOTO COURTESY OF JOE MARTINELLI The Banana Slug String Band goes from the Pillow Theater, to the Main Stage this year as the group prepares to make two appearances at the Eccles Center.
