The Battersby Duo first broke onto the Kid's Music scene in 1983.
Their backgrounds in Early Childhood Development, Sociology and
Philosophy helped them formulate ideas for writing songs for
children that nurtured and helped young minds in the building block
stages of their development. And so in may '83 The BatDuo was born!
By 1989 the Battersby Duo were the hosts of
Kids Place, the Emmy award winning TV show, then made guest
appearances on Sesame Street and The Today Show on NBC. Fred Rogers
of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood said of his friends "We will remember
with pleasure that The Battersby's are a part of our neighborhood."
1992 heralded the dawn of classic BatDuo music with the release of
"A Tail of Too Sillies." and songs like "I'm a Germ" "Pat your
Hands," and "Elephant's Toenails" became classics with families
around the USA.
While performing at a Sesame Street program in
Washington DC in 1993 a friend of Hillary Clinton, who was
attending the show, saw The Duo, and was so impressed by
their performance, that she mentioned them to the First Lady
who a month or so later, invited them to perform for her and
the children of Washington, at The White House. The
Battersby's were invited to perform for the next 6 years for
The President and First Lady at numerous White House
functions. They also performed at numerous fundraisers,
including the now historic "Our Children our Future" rally
of 1993/4 where over 4000 kids converged on the Capitol.
Tim and Laura have also appeared on TV shows on PBS, CBS, ABC, UPN,
Fox and NBC influencing millions of Children over the past 3
decades with their wacky wisdom and innovative music.
The Battersby Duo are endorsed by Taylor Guitars and this
year are celebrating their
