TREEHOUSE'S SPLASH 'N BOOTS

TORONTO - They appear daily in over 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 over 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.

$1 of 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,”

“This time our show is bigger, with so many more elements and characters, 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!”, says Nick (the groups “Splash”).

Paving the way as Canada's premiere children's entertainers, 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!

Splash’N Boots recently partnered with Treehouse TV, the number one pre-school channel in Canada providing commercial-free family entertainment, and created a brand new show (“The Big Yellow Boot”) centred around the joy of music and dance. In just one year, they have created two seasons and over 100 episodes , appearing 4-6 times daily in 8.3 million homes across the country.

Splash’N Boots music is timeless and universal, creating opportunities for parents and children to enjoy and share the moment and enabling kids to feel empowered and positive. Unique and inventive, the tireless duo are constantly producing new material for the next generation of Puddle Jumpers.

From social media to their philanthropy with Sick Kids Hospital, Camp Ooch – a camp for Kids with Cancer – as well as Starlight Children's Foundation Canada – a non-profit organization that lifts the spirits of seriously ill children and their loved ones with variety of innovative programs, services, and events – (The Big Yellow Boot Tour will donate tickets to the foundation), Splash'N Boots extends far beyond the stage alone, and the duo are truly making a Yellow and Blue splash in the rich history of Canadian children's music.

What started off as a class project at Queens university has led to the release of 9 albums, 3 DVD’s, over 100 episodes from their hit TV show, and televised performances with The Wiggles. From Dubai to the Arctic, Bermuda, Australia, Italy and across North America, Splash'N Boots tour extensively to bring their high energy musical show to families around the globe. Described as "Cutting Edge Children's Entertainment" by the Globe and Mail this is a hilarious family concert "you don't want to miss!”.
