Meet our Performers

Kenn Kweder

 

 

 

Kenn Kweder is a Philadelphia music legend. He came on the scene in the 1970's and quickly developed a loyal following. Kenn spent much

of the 1980's touring and living in Europe where years earlier he had sung in the streets. Recharged, Kenn returned to Philadelphia where he resumed in earnest

working closely with many other talented musicians including singer-songwriter Ben Vaughn. Kenn continues his musical career today not only performing but producing and inspiring many other artists. This is Kenn's second appearance at "The Princeton Children's Book Festival".

Miss Amy

Miss Amy is a spirited and lively singer/songwriter who grew up in Kansas. 

Delighting multitudes of children and adults with her live shows, she has appeared

at venues through-out the central New Jersey and Philadelphia area, including World Cafe Live,

the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, McCarter Theatre and major NJ state funded special events.

Miss Amy has won wide acclaim for family entertainment by fostering children’s imaginations through her music.
