TORONTO — They appear daily in more than 8.3 million homes across the country on their hit TV show, The Big Yellow Boot. Now, Treehouse’s Splash’N Boots are thrilled to announce that tickets are officially on sale across Canada for The Big Yellow Boot Tour!
Kicking off this September, Splash’N Boots — who are three-time JUNO nominees — are taking their Big Yellow Boot friends, Charlie, Keys and Jumping Jack Granny, coast to coast for seven weeks, stopping in more than 30 Canadian cities along the way. This is the first time all the characters from the Big Yellow Boot will be together on stage across Canada.
One dollar from each ticket sale from the Big Yellow Boot Tour will go directly towards bringing musical programming and opportunities to communities in Northern Canada. Having done many shows in Canada’s great North, they are excited about how Splash’N Boots 4 Kids (focusing on its four core values: love, happiness, inclusion and connection) can help create sustainable, long-term musical programming, as well as hands-on opportunities for kids to build confidence, get creative and have fun.
“We’re so excited to be taking this brand new show across Canada and, in doing so, help bring more music to families in northern communities,” says Taes (the group’s “Boots”). “We believe strongly in the power of music to inspire and bring people together, and feel that concerts and musical programming should be accessible to everyone.”
Nick, the group’s “Splash,” said this show is bigger and with more elements and characters than previous shows.
“So we’re excited for families to have the full Big Yellow Boot experience and also work collectively to spread music far and wide across our country,” he says.
Splash’N Boots encourage families across Canada to come to The Big Yellow Boot Tour wearing their best yellow and blue outfits, and get ready to sing and dance and have a hilarious and unforgettable time with their family.
What started out as a class project at Queen’s University has led to the release of nine albums, three DVDs, being crowned three times as Canadian Children’s Group of the Year, and two televised concert specials with The Wiggles.
The Big Yellow Boot Tour is Sept. 18 at 1 p.m. at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $26.25 or $42.25 for VIP tickets (includes a meet and greet after the show, and a special gift). Buy tickets online at www.ticketseller.ca or call 250-549-SHOW (7469).
