Jim "Mr. Stinky Feet" Cosgrove
Mr. Stinky Feet Rocks the Symphony
Introduce children to the wonder and awe-inspiring beauty of a symphony orchestra experience with Mr. Stinky Feet. Jim’s songs have been arranged by Grammy-nominated arranger Don Hart, and the charts are available for any orchestra to perform with Jim and his band. This show debuted to a sold-out crowd in 2012 with the Kansas City Symphony at the world-class Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
Jim Cosgrove is a nationally-recognized children’s entertainer, writer and motivational speaker who has delighted audiences throughout North America and Europe, including two performances at The White House. His eight award-winning CDs have earned critical acclaim and numerous national honors, including seven Parents’ Choice Awards. He has performed in nearly every venue imaginable – theaters, schools, libraries, festivals, fairs, churches, community centers, water parks, skating rinks, as well as world class concert halls.
Cosgrove's concerts are guaranteed to get the whole family rocking! With a healthy dose of clever fun and a whole lot of heart, Cosgrove’s music inspires the childlike nature of kids and adults. The songs in his set list give a nod to his folk-rock roots with hints of blues and country and an occasional kick of Cajun and Jamaican spice. His hit tunes “Stinky Feet” and “Ooey Gooey” tickle the whimsical spirits of kids of all ages. And, as a father of two daughters, he knows first hand that music is an integral part of child's education and social development. Most of all, music brings families together and creates a lifetime of memories.
