Kiki (Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer), Shout (Thomas Hobson), Marina (Tara Perry), and Twist (Jon Beavers) will perform The Fresh Beat Band hits from seasons one, two and three of the live-action music series that teaches preschoolers about music appreciation and how to express their feelings through movement, song and instrumental music.

In addition, the band’s new music video and single “Just Like A Rock Star,” will debut on Nickelodeon and iTunes on Tuesday, Nov. 29. The song will be featured on the first The Fresh Beat Band soundtrack which spans all three season of the TV series and will be available in January. Both the soundtrack and the tour will showcase the Fresh Beats catchy preschool-friendly tracks from “Here We Go” to “Stomp the House.” The Fresh Beats recently released singles, “Here We Go” and “A Friend Like You,” have been mainstays at the top of the iTunes children's music chart since their debut.
"We are so excited to get out on the road, meet our amazing fans and perform our songs,” said The Fresh Beat Band. “The concert has something for everyone to enjoy and we can't wait to see the families singing and dancing along."
