Eight Gigs: Raffi

Platinum-selling children’s singer-songwriter Raffi has entertained and educated young audiences for more than 40 years with his silly and catchy tunes about beluga whales and ditties that shine a light on how everything grows in this world. With 30 albums recorded, Raffi is known for his children’s music, but also for the folk music released on his own record label, Troubadour. His third album, Adult Entertainment, was only released on wax, so for all the ’80s kids who grew up singing his tunes in the classroom, check out his folkier side and hunt down those rare LPs. 1013 K Street, www.raffinews.com.
