Popular family oriented bands come from afar to play in the tri-state area because of it's warm reception, but apparently there is a very popular band in our own backyard of Warminster, PA: Steve Pullara & His Cool Beans Band. They've attracted thousands to their concerts these past Summers & festival seasons. They've quickly become a local favorite. Steve Pullara & His Cool Beans Band have headlined and packed the Philadelphia Zoo, Longwood Gardens, Various First Nights, Penn's Landing, The NJ State Aquarium, The Wilmington Opera House, The Bethlehem Musikfest, and The Statue of Liberty State Park in New Jersey, just to name a few.
Steve Pullara & His Cool Beans Band also receive national and international attention for their albums. Here's just one sampling review:
Steve Pullara keeps it simple. He takes a theme-like learning to hop-expands it moderately, then repeats it with infectious rhythms and rhymes. There are no complicated stories, no pedagogical attempts to bolster self esteem. There's just good clean, silly fun-with a beat. The songs deal with frogs, bathtubs, gumdrops, whales, in - line skating, worms, and scary things found (and not found) under the bed. There's a jaunty Italian number: though not translated, the meaning is perfectly clear. Pullara's tunes-delivered with dash and musical ingenuity-are simple, too, and immensely likable. This tape should be a popular addition to a collection.
Paul Shackman: "Booklist" Review, The American Library Association
