Tom's Fun Band is a fun and interactive musical group who provides entertainment for children ages 2 - 8. This group consists of acoustic guitar, ukulele, bass and drums and features the original songs of group founder, Tom Wilbeck.
Tom's Fun Band is more than just great children's music! The band works hard to bring world class silliness to every show in a manner that is entertaining to all and never offensive. Adults will have fun and the kids will have the time of their lives when the music starts and the dance party erupts. You can find Tom's Fun Band in many venues throughout Southeast Texas.
Uncle Jumbo is a Texas-born son of a Disco and Reggae DJ, who got his start, as a four year old, playing accordion with touring Zydeco bands on the front porch of his Aunt Helen’s house in Louisiana. After spending years blending the grooves of Hip Hop and Soul, new inspiration struck deeply when he heard the first rhythm of his daughter’s heartbeat. Soon after, Jumbo and family held tightly to music as a way of bringing hope and healing to their home, when his daughter was diagnosed with a rare liver disease at birth. This led to the evolution of Jumbo turning his musical focus into creating heartfelt, uniting and jammin’ music for children everywhere, in an effort to help raise generations of positive, loving people.
The energetic and interactive performances encourage audiences to be less of an observer and more of a co-creator in the infectiously joyous energy filling the space, leading your body into motion and your heart open feeling the Jumbo love!
Uncle Jumbo’s latest song, ‘One Big Family’, along with ‘Roly Poly’ and others can be heard in regular rotation on SiriusXM Kids Place Live. His new album Taste the Sky was released in June, 2023.
