Like his contemporaries Laurie Berkner and Ralph Covert, Justin Roberts writes children's songs that are witty and sophisticated enough for adults to enjoy (and even sing along with). He appears this weekend at the College of DuPage for a family-friendly pop show. I can tell you from experience that this is a show that the parents out there might actually enjoy.
