Free family music show coming to Cloquet

The Cloquet Public Library invites children of all ages to listen, laugh, sing, shout and dance along with award-winning musician Glen Everhart performing his Heebie Jeebie’s Family Comedy Music Show at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, as part of its regular story time that morning. The program is free of charge and open to the public.

This high energy, interactive 45-minute show is suitable for all ages. Songs include: “I’ve Got The Heebie Jeebies,” “Camp Ishy-fishy-stinky-socky-skeeter-slappy-toad-a-hoppy-burpa-lotta-woodsa-tickle-ee,” “The Littlest Worm” and many more.

Everhart is perhaps best known throughout Northern Minnesota partnered with Ted Fyder as part of the acoustic duo “Fyder and Everhart” by way of their still popular “Goin’ Up North” CD.

After growing up in St. Paul, Minn., Everhart graduated from St. Cloud State University, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in music education. He taught public school full- and part-time for seven years, has been a full-time professional entertainer since 1987, and has won The Great American Song Contest with the song “Young People of the World” (which will also be performed Thursday).

Reviewers of the Heebie Jeebie’s show say: “Wow! What a voice…Kids were dancing and singing – it was a joyful experience for everyone…” and “One of my kindergartners has been saying, ‘The littlest worm I ever saw was stuck inside my soda straw’ about 100 times this afternoon.”

Admission to the event is free thanks to sponsorship by the Arrowhead Library System and funding by money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
