Who We Are!
Simon & Simone are a singer/songwriting duo, one of whom is a purple puppet!
They sing original songs that are fun, playful, emotional, and sometimes address real-life concerns for young people all over.
They have been entertaining audiences of all ages since 2018, playing whimsical songs about Popcorn, Clouds, Dreams & Bees, but also songs about the importance of health (Move Yer' Body, Move Yer' Feet!) or the longing for friends and family (Far Far Away).
In addition to playing live events and parties, they host educational workshops, teaching music to young minds. They recently completed Season 2 of their YouTube channel kids show, collaborated on a production of Dickens' A Christmas Carol with the New York Giant Theater Company, and released their first album featuring over 14 of their most popular songs.
