about the show:         view performance clips

Ryan Buckle & Friends is the best new kids' show in D.C.!  Since launching in 2010 at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, the show has wowed curious kids with great music and amazing science at major festivals and museums throughout the D.C. metro area.

The show stars Ryan Buckle, who performs songs from our debut CD, Swamp Stomp Boogie.  The music highlights discoveries kids can make at the zoo, inspiring them to ask questions like: Ever wonder how birds can fly? What shadows are? Where crocodiles live? 

Ryan also performs awesome experiments to inspire and amaze kids, and often invites friends on stage to help him!   Audiences of all ages ooh and aah at the floating smoke rings, gigantic bubbles, circle of electricity, alka seltzer rocket, bubble shower and more. 

The combination of music with science is magic: "Swamp Stomp hits all the basic criteria for good kids' music: It's well-produced, and the songwriting is fun and quirky." (USA Today)

Swamp Stomp Boogie was produced in Nashville with Grammy Award-winning producers and musicians and Wammie Award-winning rock star Shane Hines. Each of the songs was built around curriculum developed by Curiosity Zone, an award-winning hands-on science center for young kids located just outside of D.C. in Ashburn, VA.
