Gemini
Sponsored by The Learning Experience

San and Laz combine uncannily matched voices with wonderful musicianship on nearly a dozen instruments. Gemini brings to their concerts a natural ease around children, and they're equally at home in an intimate setting or in front of an audience of thousands. The twin brothers have an upbeat flair for involving everyone, from tots to grandparents, in the music making. The result is a dynamic show ranging from laughter, grins, and boisterous fun, to the magic of hushed lullabies and tender ballads.
