Appearing at Open Mike Stage at 2:00 p.m., and in the Kids Area at 3:45 p.m.

Laura Doherty teaches in the Old Town School of Folk Music's Wiggleworms®, its wildly popular early-childhood program, and she was that program's director from 1998 through 2009. In May 2009 she released her first CD of original children’s songs called “Kids in the City,” which received the 2009 Gold Nappa Award and the Gold Parent’s Choice Award. Fred Koch wrote in Chicago Parent, “Her new CD is wonderful… children and parents everywhere will delight in these songs. Using Chicago as her inspiration, the CD is filled with fabulous songs about skyscrapers, the L and the zoo.“ Laura also fits in time to rock out with her kids band, The Swing Sets, on vocals and electric bass. In its January 2010 review of the decade, Time Out Chicago listed Laura as one of the “best things to happen to Chicago kids.“
