Music in the Park: Justin Roberts & the Not-Ready-For-Naptime Players

May 28, 2026
7 - 8 PM

Central Park Stage

Overview

Get ready for Grammy nominated Justin Roberts, one of the founders of the modern family music scene!

For 25 years, Roberts has been creating the soundtrack to families’ lives, helping kids navigate the joys and sorrows of growing up, while inspiring parents to remember their own childhoods. His songs are the kind of get-stuck-in-your-head pop nuggets that draw comparisons to Elvis Costello, Fountains of Wayne, and Paul Simon rather than just simple nursery rhymes, prompting USA Today to call him “hands-down the best songwriter in the genre.”

*Rain location: Grinnell Arts Center Main Floor*
