What Are the Best Local Venues for Kids' Concerts?

A friend of ours in the midwest is in a band that performs ... let us double-check the appropriate genre label ... "family friendly" music. Kids' shows, in other words. (Little Miss Seattlest is currently involved in a committed relationship with their latest CD. And our kid's got taste.) Our friend is contemplating a west-coast tour next spring, and asked us for suggestions about places to play. The Tractor and Conor Byrne were the first two places to spring to mind, but then we realized that a) we don't get out to tons of kids' concerts, so we're obviously horrible parents, and b) we have no idea where the best local venues for those shows are. Parks? The library? You tell us, we'll pass along the recommendations.

Depends on when your friend is coming, but remember that all music is "kid" music. THings like the concerts at the mural amphitheater and the KEXP BBQ. Also there are shows al over the city in the summer. Harbor step during lunch for example. In fact , we just had a great time in Issaquah seeing Nearly Dan.

Good point about the music -- but not all venues are kids venues. And he's looking to perform, not attend shows, so places equipped to have hordes of young'uns come dance are kind of vital.
