Chris McKhool’s concerts are part musical performance, part environmentalism and 100% fun! This award-winning show is fully interactive, as kids join the band on stage playing percussion instruments from around the globe, dance to the global grooves, and sing songs about taking care of our planet. For three decades, Chris has taken his audience beyond the 3 R’s of ecology (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to a new level of understanding of our global connection to forests, air, water and animals. Everyone leaves with the feeling that they can really make a difference!

Chris was just presented Burlington’s Key to the City, and is a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient for creating community through music. One of Canada’s hottest musicians for kids, he has been hailed as a “Children’s musical star” (National Post) and “Canada’s greatest eco-troubadour for young people” (Mississauga Living Arts Centre). Everything Chris does comes from the heart, and he has been delighting audiences with his joyful songs and exotic world instruments for three decades, reaching over 1 million children live in concert, with hit performances on YTV’s Treehouse, TVO’s Crawlspace, Mr. Dressup, CITY-TV and the CBC.

A champion of environmental issues, Chris created the World Largest Bicycle Bell Orchestra at Yonge-Dundas Square with over 800 bell ringers! He was nominated for a JUNO Award for Best Children’s Album, and won the Canadian Folk Music Award for Children’s Album of the Year! He's also a multiple Parents’ Choice Award Winner and a Green Toronto Award Winner, and was just inducted into the Burlington Performing Artist Centre Hall of Fame.

Chris is joined by his friends from Sultans of String - Saskia Tomkins, Kevin Laiberté, and Drew Birston!

"The singer-songwriter epitomizes what many Canadians have come to love about this country.”

- Deanne Fisher, City Parent

“Chris McKhool and the boys were fantastic! They can play my Bar Mitzvah.”

- Bob Ezrin, producer (Pink Floyd, Kiss)

“Chris McKhool isn’t sure if he’s ready to be mentioned in the same breath as Raffi and Fred Penner. But with a new CD and a growing list of fans, the ‘eco-troubadour’ may soon no longer have any choice.”

- Sean Lynch, The Ottawa Citizen
