I recently attended a Lady Gaga concert and I was not surprised to see many parents there with their very young children. Gaga is a phenomenon and she is all over the radio, internet and TV, so to see that she has many little fans made sense. My five year old likes to sing along to Poker Face all the time. The thing that did surprise me was the content of Gaga’s concert. I would assume that Gaga knows she has a lot of young fans and that a lot of families attend her shows, yet her set was filled with racy costumes and expletives. The cursing wasn’t limited just to the music–she was also screaming four letter words at the audience from the stage. So I decided to come up with a list of family friendly artists that are currently on tour.

1) Jonas Brothers
These are the kind of guys that mothers hope their daughters will one day marry. Aside from their charity contributions and purity rings, their music is squeaky clean and can be enjoyed by all. They are about to appear in an upcoming Disney special called Camp Rock 2, and the cast has joined them on tour, as has Demi Lovato. It’s sometimes hard to hear what song they’re playing due to all the female fans screaming but the boys know how to work the crowd. They are currently touring the U.S. until September 19th when they perform their last show in Irvine, CA before heading to Mexico.

2) Beach Boys
So maybe it’s not the original line-up, and maybe it’s only Mike Love, but the music this band made in the sixties is timeless. You should introduce your kids to the Beach Boys classics like “Good Vibrations” and get them dancing at home before bringing them to see the band. They’ll be playing the U.S. and Canada until the beginning of November. It’s a great family show even if you’ve never picked up a surfboard.

3) Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is the biggest thing in music right now thanks to girls under the age of 18. His non threatening lyrics and hair that looks like he hasn’t used a brush on it in ten years has turned him into a hit. He’s touring behind his recent album My World 2.0 with support from Sean Kingston, which makes sense considering they have a hit duet with “Eenie Meenie.” They’ll be touring the U.S. and Canada until right before Christmas.

If none of this interests you or your kids then wait until 2011 when the Backstreet Boys will be touring with New Kids on the Block, and you can show your kids what you used to listen to at  their age and how you can still scream with the best of them.
