No Nap Happy Hour Music Series Begins July 26

Hey, live music lovers: the newest "gotta see" kids' concert series is Northampton, Massachusetts' No Nap Happy Hour, produced by Spare the Rock's Bill Childs. Kids' bands and performers, from the legendary Bill Harley to new-stars-on-the-block Lunch Money, will be rockin' the reknowned Iron Horse Music Hall once a month 'till the end of the year.

For at least some of the dates (including Lunch Money), it's the only New England appearance for the band, so fans should check into making the trip to western Massachusetts. Northampton is less than an hour from Hartford and a couple of hours from Boston.

All shows will be held at the Iron Horse Music Hall at 2:00pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, $13 at the door, and are available through the Iron Horse website.

Here's the 2009 No Nap Happy Hour lineup:

• July 26 - Lunch Money
• August 23 - Justin Roberts & the Not Ready for Naptime Trio
• September 20 - Deedle Deedle Dees
• October 18 - Uncle Rock & the Playthings
• November 8 - Brady Rymer & the Little Band That Could
• December 6 - Bill Harley
